Love Letters

"When two soul, which have sought each other for however long in the crowd, have finally found each other, when they have seen that they are matched, are in sympathy and compatible, in a word, that they are alike. there is then established for ever between them a union, strong and pure as they themselves are, a union which begins on earth and continues for ever in heaven. This union is love, true love, such as in truth very few men can conceive, that love which is a religion, which deifies the loved one, whose life comes from devotion and passion and for which the greatest sacrifices are the sweetest delights."

Victor Hugo b. 1802 d. 1885. excerpt Love Letters to Adèle Foucher.
