The Love Letter by Auguste Toulmouche

"We two, you know, have everything before us, and we shall do very great things -- I have perfect faith in us -- and so perfect is my love for you that I am, as it were, still, silent to my very soul. I want nobody but you for my lover and my friend and to nobody but you shall I be faithful."

Perhaps a post about love letters would be better suited to February, but who says November doesn't deserve a little love, too? The London Times has posted an excerpt from Love Letters of Great Women by Ursula Doyle, a November release that features achingly sweet writing by the likes of George Sand, Anne Boleyn, Queen Victoria and Jane Austen. The above quote comes from a letter by writer Katherine Mansfield, whose love affairs achieved a number of scandalous results, not the least of which was her mother cutting her out of her will.
