one of the greatest love letters i have ever read, from a women to a famous writer.
she writes:
You find inspiration that is truly sublime, while you move your readers by touches of feeling so profoundly human, that we fancy we see ourselves depicted in your pages, and love you with an egotistical love.
I'll regret this all the more as you are sufficiently great to inspire one with romantic dreams of becoming the confidante of your beautiful soul, always supposing your soul to be beautiful.
And now I shall always preserve my incognito for you. I do not even desire to see you from a distance- your counternance might not please me-who can tell? All I know of you now is that you are young and you are not married, two essential points, even for a distant adoration.
I must tell you that I am charming, this sweet reflecton will stimulate you to answer my letter.
