Love Letter From Napoleon

Marmirolo,July17,1796

I have received your letter, my adorable friend. It has filled my heart with joy. I am grateful to you for the trouble you have taken to send me the news. I hope that you are better today.I am sure that you have recovered. I earnestly desire that you should ride on horseback: it cannot fail to （不会不）benefit you.

Since I left you, I have been constantly depressed. My happiness is to be near you. Incessantly①I live over in my memory your caresses②, your tears, your affectionate solicitude③. The charms of the incomparable Josephine kindle④continually a burning and a glowing⑤flame in my heart. When, free from all solicitude, all harassing⑥care（折磨人的担心）, shall I be able to pass all my time with you, having only⑦to love you, and to think only of the happiness of so saying, and of proving it to you? I will send you your horse, but I hope you will soon join me. I thought that I loved you months ago, but since my separation from you I feel that I love you a thousand fold⑧more. Each day since I knew you, have I adored you yet more and more. This proved the maxim of Bruyere, that "love comes all of a sudden," to be false. Everything in nature has its own course⑨, and different degrees of growth.

Ah! I entreat⑩you to permit me to see some of your faults. Be less beautiful, less gracious, less affectionate, less good, especially be not over-anxious, and never weep. Your tears rob⑴me of reason, and inflame⑵my blood. Believe me it is not in my power to have a single thought which is not of thee⑶, or a wish I could not reveal to thee.

Seek repose（休息，睡眠）. Quickly re-establish your health. Come and join me, that at least, before death, we may be able to say, "We were many days happy." A thousand kisses, and one even to Fortuna, notwithstanding⑷his spitefulness⑸.
