      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.

      POETRY OF THE SOUL

      Fantasies

      Passions inexpressive speech stirs action within our frames

      Makes bold the wooing heart endearment claims

      Gives wings and spirit strengthens languishing ties

      Binds fairest limbs, pale bosoms, deep wanting eyes

      Faint blushes, moist bodies and quivering frames

      Clasped pounding hearts, eager lips, whispering tender names

      Heady moments filled with tameless bliss

      Awakened moaning cries of naked tenderness

      Trembling fingers now come to peacefully rest

      Subsides upon a blushing heaving breast
