拿破仑写给爱妻的缠绵情书

（单词翻译:单击）

 　　Paris, December 1795I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating¹ evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil². Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?... My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully³ realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
