Philosophical Book Reviews reviews Letters 1925-1975 – Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger, using Echo and Narcissus as allegories:

Arendt's and Heidegger's love was a mirror. Their own intellectual genius reflected back at them. They could each have been Narcissus and the lake water respectively. But what is striking is that love transcended political unrest and religious and ethnic differences. They loved each other as they would love themselves.
