[00:00.77]Passage 45. Napoleon to Josephine

[00:06.78]I have your letter, my adorable love.

[00:11.60]It has filled my heart with joy.

[00:14.00]Since I left you I have been sad all the time.

[00:18.05]My only happiness is near you.

[00:20.79]I go over endlessly in my thought of your kisses,your tears, your delicious jealousy.

[00:27.79]The charm of my wonderful Josephine kindles a living,

[00:32.60]blazing fire in my heart and senses.

[00:35.66]When shall I be able to pass every minute near you,

[00:39.61]with nothing to do but to love you

[00:42.34]and nothing to think of but the pleasure of telling you of it and giving you proof of it?

[00:48.36]I loved you some time ago; since then I feel that I love you a thousand times better.

[00:54.59]Ever since I have known you I adore you more every day.

[00:59.41]That proves how wrong is that saying of La Bruyere “Love comes all of a sudden.”

[01:05.97]Ah, let me see some of your faults;

[01:09.91]be less beautiful,less graceful, less tender,less good.

[01:15.16]But never be jealous and never shed tears.

[01:19.21]Your tears send me out of my mind... they set my very blood on fire.

[01:24.68]Believe me that it is utterly impossible for me to have a single thought that is not yours,

[01:33.00]a single fancy that is not submissive to your will.

[01:36.28]Rest well. Restore your health.

[01:40.00]Come back to me and then at any rate before we die we ought to be able to say:

[01:45.91]“We were happy for so very many days!”

[01:49.84]Millions of kisses even to your dog.
