Who can love you like I do. Love your talent to be with you, love your heroic appearance, love you when you are damaged by time, love you when you are sick, love you until you can't spell love anymore. . . . this is Love. John's love for Iris.

In flashbacks of past memories, it is believed that Iris dominated their long-term relationship until the onset of illness. Perhaps this made them more equal and closer to each other. They were more affectionate in their old age. Touching, the details of life are lovely.

Iris Murdoch: We all worry about going mad, don't we? How would we know? Those of us who live in our minds, anyway. Other people would tell us. Would they John?

Iris Murdoch: [pep-talking herself] Keep working, keep talking, keep the words coming.
John Bayley: Keep at it.
Iris Murdoch: I should feel like a deprived animal if I can't write. I'm like a starved dog.
John Bayley: No, keep at it. I'll keep you at it.

Iris Murdoch: I feel... as if I'm sailing into darkness.
