Love Letters Of Great Men #001

article image placeholderUploaded by @RoosterCollins
My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you, 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 3 hours

Napoleon to Josephine 1795. #books #letters #history #love

I don't know in the book if it actually shows the handwriting of the people or if it's typewritten out, but I love a handwritten letter. To me, it just adds more personalization to it. I still like if I get a letter in the mail, which I never do, but I still write them. But sometimes you'll get Christmas cards, and people will write, like, a little update. And just to see somebody's handwriting, it's special

You just made me realize I've done something awful. I throwed away so many cards from my family visits, I just couldn't store them anymore. I'm terrible. Yeah, I wish I still had those. I still have a couple. But yeah, I agree with you. All my stuff is all typed out. My wife does have like she I'm here, I write her love letters in the middle of night and I forget what she's kept them throughout the year

Hello. I've never really been one for romanticism, especially in books. But these are actual love letters written to actual people in history. This is a very interesting book. Your wife has great taste. Yeah. I love the way you read it. It had enthusiasm and it drew me in immediately. So, yeah, I look forward to hearing some more. I already checked out two. I know I did it backwards, but anyway, I really enjoyed it

I have a couple more that I read, but, yeah, it's a really good book. And there's another volume of imagine. There's an entire collection. I think Napoleon wrote a bunch of letters to Josephine, and they're all incredible. Like this. The guy that took over the world and became emperor was a. Was just a bleeding heart, like, romantic. It's insane. It
