My dearest Josephine, my thoughts go out to you, my immortal beloved,
I can only live wholely with you or not at all.
Become my life, my all.
Through calm consideration we can achieve our existence to live together.
O continue to love me.
Never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours.
Enjoy everyone! :) I hope this poem touches each of your hearts as much as it has touched mine. :) Let me know what you think of this beautiful poem.
A writer. Smile.
Thank you!
My balls itch.
The end.
WellI'm glad this poem touched you in some way.
It didn't. I was just pointing out that my balls itched.
Poetry, thank you for sharing these writings. I have a book that contains letters by composers, including Bach. Good stuff. It's unfortunate that some of us lack class and creativity, just by being doltish and futle. Keep on posting. Cheers!
These speak more for the time from which they were written, rather than the writer themselves. They were preserved because of the status of the writer. Even legal documents from that time look pretty compared to now.
On the other side, I've heard many women today disdain such letters, women who are down on sex / prudish / puritanical / feminist.
Like any writing, it's all up to the interpretation I guess.
They are flowery, but most things from the Romantic time period are flowery compared to the standards before then and afterwards -- now. Look at the ornate qualities in Victorian architecture. What most people don't know is before that time, architecture was rather boxy and functional.
It's just a brief moment in time that was still-imaged and canonized by the idealistic, much like what the religious now have done with the 1950s.
Have fun with them as playthings. But they're neither historical nor realistic. Reminds me of a poor ignorant woman who said she wanted to be like June Cleaver. Only June Cleaver was the figment of people's imagination, a creation of Hollywood.
It's like I told my daughter when playing with Barby dolls: So long as you know they're playthings, and have no basis in reality, you are fine. Nobody imagines that purple dinosaurs or Easter Bunnies or Santa Clauses walk the earth.
Real love in real life is often a lot more mundane, and dare I say, a lot more exciting, in its stark realism and acceptance of each other's very flawed nature.
Letters like these only give little tiny girls something to imagine, higher standards for a potential mate to meet, standards no mate can, but a deceiver can fake.
I'll admit I have written my own letters of love to my Wife in the past. They're lost forever now, and weren't nearly so meaningful as my daily support and help and partnership to Her. When I was younger, I was a hopeless romantic, so I understand the attraction.
Those stuffed jalapeños are gonna hurt comin' out. Woooooeee!
