this is kinda fatal sounding ain't it? but ahhhhh the way a person could write a love letter way back when... *sigh*

August 15, 1846

I will cover you with love when next I see you, with caresses, with ecstasy. I want to gorge you with all the joys of the flesh, so that you faint and die. I want you to be amazed by me, and to confess to yourself that you had never even dreamed of such transports... When you are old, I want you to recall those few hours, I want your dry bones to quiver with joy when you think of them.

Gustave Flaubert, famous French writer, to his wife Louise Colet.
