    About this ebook

    Now as I stand
    Staring into the emptiness,
    A scroll of what was
    Unrolls itself,
    The pain, the agony
    And the silent sighs
    Of an enduring heart.

    What imminent danger lay in wait?
    Neither illness nor age
    No malignant malady,
    Perhaps a hard word
    From one of her kins
    Wrought havoc in her mind,
    A heart that knew only to feel
    And feel deeply for others
    Was thus stilled.

      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.
