Romantic Saturday Sessions

By now you all must have figured out I'm a huge romantic if I could live in a different era i would leap at the chance to live in Paris in the 20/30's , why Paris ... that's simple ... Paris is BEAUTIFUL... just watch the movie Midnight in Paris and fall in love with that beautiful place like I have...

I'm in Paris right now as I'm writing this post ,I'm wearing a beautiful Dior evening gown and wearing diamante in-crusted YSL heels.. pearls and diamond jewelry ,champagne filled glass in hand .. in the same apartment that Carrie from sex and the city stayed in and looking at a view of the Eiffle Tower

*in my mind of course darlings ,we can dream cant we * 

Reason for the above detailed setting is because i want you to come with me on this romantic mental journey as you read this amazing letter by Voltaire ...

enjoy this amazing piece of Written Art

Love Letters 

I am a prisoner here in the name of the King;
they can take my life, but not the love that I feel for you.

Yes, my adorable mistress, to-night I shall see you, if I had to put my head on the block to do it.

For heaven's sake, do not speak to me in such disastrous terms as you write; you must live and be cautious; beware of Madame your mother as of your worst enemy.

What do I say?

Beware of everybody; trust no one; keep yourself in readiness, as soon as the moon is visible; I shall leave the hotel incognito, take a carriage or a chaise, we shall drive like the wind to Sheveningen; I shall take paper and ink with me; we shall write our letters.

If you love me, reassure yourself; and call all your strength and presence of mind to your aid; do not let your mother notice anything, try to have your pictures, and be assured that the menace of the greatest tortures will not prevent me to serve you.

No, nothing has the power to part me from you; our love is based upon virtue, and will last as long as our lives.

Adieu, there is nothing that I will not brave for your sake; you deserve much more than that.

Adieu, my dear heart!

Arout
(Voltaire)

deep breath ... how beautiful is that kind of intense love for someone (not agreeing with the mistress part ) ... I have a suggestion ... lets start writing letters again ... so 100 years from now that generation can have an example of the love we had in this century and not only have 140 characters of  self expression

that' s all for now

love & light
