The next of our featured free love letters comes from Victor Hugo (1802—1885). Hugo was a French poet, novelist, playwright, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France. In the English-speaking world his best known works are the novels Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.
This letter is written to Juliette Drouet, a French actress with whom Hugo enjoyed a relationship of fifty years!
Victor Hugo, 1821.
When two souls, which have sought each other for,however long in the throng, have finally found each other ...a union, fiery and pure as they themselves are...begins on earth and continues forever in heaven.
This union is love, true love... a religion, which deifies the loved one, whose life comes from devotion and passion, and for which the greatest sacrifices are the sweetest delights. This is the love which you inspire in me...your soul is made to love with the purity and passion of angels; but perhaps it can only love another angel, in which case I must tremble with apprehension.
