Love Letters
Romance someone special with lover letters
My love, my life, my reader. You don’t have to write love letters to be romantic with them. Simply reading someone else’s love letters aloud to someone special can be very romantic; as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) read to Big (Chris Noth) in the Sex and the City movie. Only moments after the movie hit theaters, fans were online trying the book from the movie. Alas the book did not yet exist; but of course, not long after there are a couple of different versions two stand out to me.
One contains complete letters (not just excerpts) from such famous men as Sir Walter Raleigh, Nathaniel Hawthorn, Edgar Allen Poe,
Mark Twain, Lewis Carroll, George Bernard Shaw, Lord Byron, John Keats, George Washington, Napoleon, Van Gogh, Mozart and even Beethoven; and the other is also available as an audio download or on CD.
The following is one of the twenty customer reviews on the Love Letters of Great Men edition by John C. Kirkland (many are 5 star reviews)
Lisa Connelly writes:
“I have seen the “Sex and the City” movie several times. This book has all the love letters that Carrie and Big read each other in the movie. It looks to me like the book that Carrie reads in bed. Maybe the book was just inspired by the movie, which came out the same day. Either way, this book is very beautiful and romantic.
I especially enjoyed learning the details of each writer’s life. It’s amazing how passionate some of our greatest leaders really were. I also love the illustrations, which make me feel like I’m going back in time.
My favorite letter was from John Keats, who (I learned from reading the book) died from consumption at the tender age of 26. While separated from his true love in his dying days, he wrote:
“You could not step or move an eyelid but it would shoot to my heart–I am greedy of you–Do not think of any thing but me. Do not live as if I was not existing–Do not forget me–But have I any right to say you forget me? Perhaps you think of me all day.
Have I any right to wish you to be unhappy for me? You would forgive me for wishing it, if you knew the extreme passion I have that you should love me–and for you to love me as I do you, you must think of no one but me, much less write that sentence. Yesterday and this morning I have been haunted with a sweet vision–
I have seen you the whole time in your shepherdess dress. How my senses have ached at it! How my heart has been devoted to it! How my eyes have been full of tears at it! Indeed I think a real Love is enough to occupy the widest heart–Your going to town alone, when I heard of it was a shock to me–yet I expected it–promise me you will not for some time, till I get better. Promise me this and fill the paper full of the most endearing names.”
Amazing, heartbreaking, wonderful! Have to stop now, and go read it again”
With reviews like that, how can you go wrong?

But A&E succeeds by having an actor read excerpts from Poe’s stories, poems, and letters, as well as sharing anecdotes that reveal a more intimate side of this macabre genius. In this video, we see Poe the doting husband, who played games in the yard with his young wife and later … |
