#love-letters

"You are always new. THe last of your kisses was ever the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest. When you pass'd my window home yesterday, I was fill'd with as much admiration as if I had then seen you for the first time...Even if you did not love me I could not help an entire devotion to you."

"If love is like a possession, maybe my letter are like my exorcisms"

"I keep water in my pockets, as portable fish tanks. My love letters often get soggy with sentimentality."
