Ahh, the art of writing to one's love has long been abandoned in the edge of fast pace technology. But, in truth writing a long charming letter or just a short simple and sweet note to your loved ones are a thing to cherish for all eternity. Written not typed words, are a sign of such dedication of one's heart to another. It shows that your partner really took his/her time to write and choose the most perfect words to describe his/her for most of the time are: unnamed feelings.
My sister bought this book; "Love letter of Great Men". Truly, the book was inspired from the movie; "Sex and the City". It contains the letters of great men in history, the ones you mostly known for their own achievements, writing long or short sweet love letters to their lovers. Most of them are divided by wars, both the common wars of land and power, and, the war between hearts and desires.
I read a few of it, and personally I adore the one written by this men, who I never heard of until my eyes catches his letter in this book. I fell completely in love with it. As though, Mr.Right was writing with his own words. The adoring fellow men has a name, he is: Richard Steele.
He's a politician and a journalist. Created the 'Spectator' magazine with Joseph Addison. He married his second wife whom he met at the funeral of his first. He supposedly wrote like 400 letters to his beloved wife. But, the ones I love speaks of the torture of not being near to his lover, and the unbearable desire to have her closer.
I love that he speaks his mind, and is not ashamed to admit defeat to his lover's teasing tactics, instead of some ego tripping and charming words. In the letters he speaks of wanting to steal his lover's glove or handkerchief if she didn't gave him, just something to remember her by. And, how he said it is the worst thing in the world to be in love and to do work at the same time.
Read it and weep. Better yet, read it and rejoice!
