- Love Letter: Mark Twain to Olivia Langdon.
- Livvy dear,
- Even if you prove to me that you have the blemishes you think you have, it cannot appall me any,
- because with them, you will still be better, and nobler, and lovelier than anyone I have known.
- I will help you to weed out your faults when they are revealed to me but don’t you be troubled about the matter,
- for you have a harder task before you, which is helping me to weed out mine.
- Let me pay my due homage to your worth; let me honor you above all others;
- let me love you with a love that knows no doubt, no question– for you are my world,
- my life, my pride, my all of earth that is worth the having.
- Let us hope and believe that we shall walk hand in hand down the lengthening highway of life, one in heart,
- one in impulse, and one in love, bearing each other’s burdens, sharing each other’s joys, soothing each other’s griefs.
- What we will lose of youth, we will make up in love, so that the account is squared, and to nobody’s disadvantage.
- I love you, my darling, and this my love will increase, step by step as tooth by tooth falls out,
- mile-stoning my way down to the great mystery and the Sweet Bye & Bye.
- Wheresoever she was, there was Eden.
- I am so proud of my privilege of writing the dearest girl in the world whenever I please,
- that I must add a few lines if only to say I love you,
- For I do love you as the dew loves the flowers; as the birds love the sunshine; as the wavelets love the breeze,
- as mothers love their first-born, as memory loves old faces; as the yearning tides love the moon; as the angels love the pure in heart
- Take my kiss and my benediction, and try to be reconciled to the fact that I am
- Yours forever,
