always electric

In my time working for the State Government, my job sent me to 46 cities in 11 years. I lived in villages with 8 people, farming communities, college towns… I was sent to every corner of Indiana. And then I came here and I realised that this whole time I was just wandering around everywhere just looking for you.

The things you have done for me, to help me, support me, surprise me, to make me happy…They’re all above and beyond what any person deserves. You’re all I need. And I love you and I like you.

There were phrases of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony that still made Coe cry. He always thought it had to do with the circumstances of the composition itself. He imagined Beethoven deaf and soul-sick, his heart broken, scribbling furiously while Death stood in the doorway, clipping his nails. Still, Coe thought, it might have been living in the country that was making him cry. It was killing him with its silence and loneliness, making everything ordinary too beautiful to bear.-The Man with the Miniature Orchestra (Mad Men S05E05)
