You were my go-go teacher and I was your lovely student. I used to go out to bars for drinks, apart from English lessons. The reason I decided to write to you is because I found a notebook that I carried with me while in. We're still good friends. I have no idea where and what you are doing now, but we'll take our chances. We had a great time together in the past. I hope we'll be able to reconnect. If you don't mind, why don't you meet me again and catch up over a drink and have a good time! Please excuse my poor English."

It’s much easier for me to get through. So, in this case, is it natural to say this? The short story kind of soothed my trauma caused by Hemingway. (I hope it sounds like joking because I know my inability to understand Hemingway is actually due to my lack of reading) Thank you so much!

- Hi, I'm trying to understand the meaning in these verses: Sweet, I blame you not, for mine the fault was, had I not been made of common clay I had climbed the higher heights unclimbed yet, seen the fuller air, the larger day. Does the conditional in "Had I not been made of common clay" belong to "Sweet, I blame you not, for mine the fault was," part or the "I had climbed the higher heights unclimbed yet" part? I'm confused because if the conditional sentence effects the "I had climbed the higher heights unclimbed yet", would the sentence mean the same as "I would have climbed the higher.."? In conclusion, what do you understand from "Had I not been made of common clay, I had climbed the higher heights unclimbed yet"? Thanks in advance.
