Love/ Victor Hugo

[Guest guest]

When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the

throng, 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, where is then established forever between them a union, fiery

and pure as they themselves are, a union which begins on earth and

continues forever in heaven. This union is love, true love, such as

in truth very few men can conceive of, 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 to Adele Foucher
