What was Ellen reading in the class that Joe quoted as he was appologizing? I managed to catch most of the word but I cant find it online and I missed the beginning of the movie, where the title may have been said.
"Forgive me the wrong I've done you, and for never having thrown myself at your feet and begged your forgiveness. I do so now, with all my heart."
If anyone can tell me what this is, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
i know it's been a long time & i dunno if u still want this info or not, but i just finished watching this movie & the book's title is "victoria," written by knut hamsun.
the full letter she quotes goes:
"dear johann,
when you read this letter, i shall be dead. everything seems so strange now. i don't feel ashamed to write to you any more, & i'm writing just as if nothing had ever happened to prevent it. before, when i was fully alive, i would rather have suffered night & day than written to you again. but now i've started to die & i don't think in that way any longer. strangers have seen me bleed. forgive me for the wrong i've done you & for never having thrown myself at your feet & begged your forgiveness. i do so now with all my heart. be happy, johann, & goodbye forever.
yours, victoria"
