Letter from Louis of Narbone to Ruth Carolina França, 1572 “Beautiful princess with golden hair. Who are you? Are you perhaps an angel exiled from heaven? ... Or rather you will be the fairy of my dreams, so often interviewed by the desires of my heart, during the solitude of my hours or in the midst of my genuflections, in the sacred precincts of the church, where I usually seek peace and hope for the daily afflictions ? ... Are you definitely single? Or, unfortunately for me, will you be the wife of a fortunate mortal? ...Who is he? ... Whoever you are, I want to confess one truth to you: - I've been crazy in love with you since this morning! ... and even more maddened than you this afternoon... because I, who write to you, am the happy knight, who from your hands deserved the delicate rosebud, a precious gift that is here close to my heart... I will not rest until you allow me to speak to you... So tell my jester which Holy Mass you attend every morning, so that I can pray to God with you...
