Don’t mind me, just crying over JCR’s letters to Anne.

The colors of the sky & sea so pure & transparent that they seem to belong to another world, I could gaze upon them with rapture for hours they remind me of are of the color of those eyes I have so often gazed on with delight. All
But alas the world south of England you are aware is quite new to me. I trust it will never make me feel dissatisfied with my our dear little Island, but the first effects of it is most enchanting– Oh dearest that you could but be with me to share the delight I feel in the contemplation of the beauties of the Creation.

James Ross to Anne Coulman, from Madeira, 25 October 1839 (x)
