Since I left you, I have been constantly depressed. My happiness is to be near you. Incessantly I live over in my memory your caresses, your tears, your affectionate solicitude. The charms of the incomparable Josephine kindle continually a burning and a glowing flame in my heart.
自从与你分离，我一直郁郁寡欢。我能快乐都是因为有你。只有不停地回忆你的爱抚、你的泪水，和你深情的关怀，我才得以活下去。亲爱的约瑟芬啊，你用你那无与伦比的魅力燃起我心中炽热的火焰。
——拿破仑
