love letters

last night i saw bright star at the glorious princess theater with my best friend princess kayla. what is better than a romantic poet falling tragically in love with a beautiful seamstress set in the breathtaking 1800's english country? i'm not surprised there were no boys in the theater at all. ha ha. so last night i was reading some keats poetry but what i found to be really moving was his letters to fanny. i love a good love letter (i keep mine in my freezer).



"I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again - my Life seems to stop there - I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving - I should be exquisitely miserable without the hope of soon seeing you."

i love that you keep them in the freezer. have you checked out the love letters written between henry viii and anne boleyn? i think they are on the web somewhere, they were just earlier this year released to the public. it is crazy how anne was still pleading and professing her love for henry even when she was in the tower of london.
