Will's Letter to Tessa
- I saw this letter from Goodreads ~ here. And it made me remember what happened in Clockwork Prince and I felt really sad for Will.. It's really heartbreaking and makes you see a whole other, softer side of Will, *sigh* Anyway, here it is -
“Tess, Tess, Tessa.
Was there ever a more beautiful sound
than your name? To speak it aloud makes my heart ring like a bell.
Strange to imagine that, isn’t it – a heart ringing – but when you touch
me that is what it is like: as if my heart is ringing in my chest and
the sound shivers down my veins and splinters my bones with joy.
Why
have I written these words in this book? Because of you. You taught me
to love this book where I had scorned it. When I read it for the second
time, with an open mind and heart, I felt the most complete despair and
envy of Sydney Carton. Yes, Sydney, for even if he had no hope that the
woman he loved would love him, at least he could tell her of his love.
At least he could do something to prove his passion, even if that thing
was to die.
I would have chosen death for a chance to tell you
the truth, Tessa, if I could have been assured that death would be my
own. And that is why I envied Sydney, for he was free.
And now at last I am free, and I can finally tell you, without fear of danger to you, all that I feel in my heart.
You are not the last dream of my soul.
You
are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself
from dreaming. You are the first dream of my soul, and from that dream I
hope will come all other dreams, a lifetime’s worth.
With hope at least,
Will Herondale”
