LOVE LETTERS





      When I read letter of John Keats to Fanny Brawne, I was mermesied   on how the letter was written. As I read this letter, I felt as if I were by some means enliven on the beautiful and clearly passionate romance between Keats and Fanny Brawne.  A lover Keats poured his heart out in this extremely well detailed letters he wrote to his beloved Fanny Brawne. Lines like, “Write me ever so few lines and tell you ( for me ) you will never for ever  be less kind to me than yesterday”, “You dazzled me- There is nothing in the world so bright and delicate” are beautiful and captivating. The lines are vivid and fluid in prose of poetry.  I noticed that these lines provide a wonderful window into the heart and soul of a lover to his  beloved. It made me aware just how deeply Keats feelings towards Fanny were. I feel strongly that this letter is a true showcase of the talented John Keats. This letter remains me another famous love letter that was written by Voltaire to Olympe Dunover.  A  tragic love letter  that touched me deeply. Voltaire was thrown into prison because he loves young Olympe but it didn’t stop him from writing to her so that she would know how much he loved her. He wrote that he would risk his life just to see her. Indeed, he risks his life by climbing out the prison window to be with her.   It was touching moment for me when I read the letter with his biography. Some lines : “ they can take my life, but not the love that I feel for you” , “nothing has the power to part me from you , our loves is based upon virtue, if you love me, reassure  yourself and call all your strength and presence of mind  implies a lover’s dedication without limitation to his beloved .  These lines also make  the readers ‘s  spirit awake  through its magnificent  meaning. These lines are still ringing a peal in my both ears although I read this letter a few days ago.  Sad to say , both love story end in tragic.  For me , love whether perfect or imperfect, it never dies as long as long as it has wonderful energy and strength of emotion with a hint of madness.  Another  valuable lesson I glean from these love letter is that we should appreciate our loved ones dearly as long they are with us.
