Biography & True StoriesI think of you constantly with love
by Alfred Schmidt
“It is the mark of a true love that one thinks of what the other person suffers. For he suffers too, is also a poor devil.” Wittgenstein wrote this down in a notebook in August 1946. The "true love" he had in mind was the one he felt for Ben Richards, a student at King's College, Cambridge, whom he had met towards the end of 1945. Wittgenstein had been in love several times before, but as this moving and fascinating collection of letters demonstrates, his relationship with Richards was special. Not only was it the last love of his life, it was also the happiest. In personal letters, Ludwig Wittgenstein writes about his relationship with Ben Richards.
