felicity, hi! great perspective. i laughed out loud reading your narration of Heloise and Abelard post-castration. while I haven't read much of their letters I agree Heloise is a liberated bad b paving the way for her time and era. thougghh I can relate to Abelard's inability to let go; one of the reasons I love this quote is that it convey's that as painful as our memories might be, as much as we would like to forget them, they make us who we are. You can't lose your bad memories without losing the very essence of who you are.
