The Story of Jens Soering and Elizabeth Haysom
“I felt like the hero in Charles Dickens’ novel “A Tale of Two Cities”, who gave his life for love.”
“Every morning, when I open my eyes and see the thick bars across my window I cannot help but think back to that evening my downfall began.”
“When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her, though I know she lies, That she might think me some untutored youth, unlearned in the world’s false subtleties.”
