    About this ebook

    "Once, long ago, I was in love with love.
    I read a poem, you see.
    I read many poems - it is true - but this one poem is that very poem that makes every young girl sigh, and long to die for love.
    I’m talking of course, of the famous “How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways...”
    How many of us have not dreamed of some lovelorn swain flung at our feet valiantly proclaiming it, as we swoon palely and interestingly?
    Be honest! Admit it!
    I did..."

    One woman follows the twisted winding path of romantic love that leads from Lizzie Browning to Lizzie Borden, and she does it all with an Audrey Hepburn smile...

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
