How long and how hard will the quest to find our one true love take? Is there such thing as pure love? Do you have a price to pay to have eternal happiness with one another? Love is such a wonderful and powerful emotion. Here is a beautiful love letter written by Napoleon Bonaparte that made me shake to my core. It's nice to know it's really out there.
Sweet incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart!
Are you angry?
Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried? ...
My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for your lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.
Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.
Bonaparte
...and yes, I had to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's after looking at this picture. :)
