I didn't know how to start this letter and now I don't know how to end it...

This afternoon my husband and I were working on our first videoclip. A home - made video clip resulted from an idea of mine and his ability with this kind of cutting and pasting software. Let's start from my idea: I wanted to unite images from the movie SYLVIA (2003) - have a look at my previos post LIFE WAS TOO SMALL TO CONTAIN HER - with Richard Armitage's reading of Ted Hughes's letters. Then have a look at the clip and ... it is the result of my husband's skills.

Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were two of the greatest poets of the 20th century. They were married but their relationship was never easy. They split up and, after writing her best poems, Sylvia killed herself. She was only 30. Ted Hughes wrote to Sylvia's mother after some time from her suicide. Can you imagine his sense of guilt? How difficult could it be to write such a letter? It's extremely moving. Get ready to shiver...

    Thanks, again. I want to buy the DVD of the ITV drama you've suggested me last time. It's in my wish list! Now, I'll also have a look at this url. Enjoy London!

    Querida! Yesterday it was my "first lesson" with him. It's fun...I want to learn how to do it myself! You'll see.

    Wow--shiver is right! I have yet to watch Sylvia, but now I feel I must. Armitage's reading of the letter to Sylvia's mother was very moving. Well done.
