about
Alan Turing’s best (only?) friend at Sherborne School, Christopher Morcom, died in 1932 when both boys were due to go up to Cambridge. Turing wrote to Morcom’s mother following the bereavement.
lyrics
“I am sure I could not have found anywhere another companion so brilliant and yet so charming and unconceited. I regarded my interest in my work…as something to be shared with him and I think he felt a little the same about me ... Finding such a person makes everyone else appear so ordinary…and if anything happens to him, you’ve got nothing left but to return to the ordinary world, and a kind of isolation that never existed before.”
