My dearest Mary；
We arrived here last night at twelve o'clock； and it is now before breakfast the next morning。 I can of course tell you nothing of the future； and though I shall not close this letter till posttime； yet I do not know exactly when that is。 Yet； if you are still very impatient； look along the letter； and you will see another date； when I may have something to relate… Well； but the time presses。 I am now going to the banker's to send you money for the journey； which I shall address to you at Florence； Post Office。 Pray e instantly to Este； where I shall be waiting in the utmost anxiety for your arrival。 You can pack up directly you get this letter； and employ the next day on that… I have been obliged to decide on all these questions without you。
I have done for the best—and； my own beloved Mary； you must soon e and scold me； if I have done wrong； and kiss me； if I have done right； for I am sure I don't know which—and it is only the event that can show。 We shall at least be saved the trouble of introductions； and have formed acquaintances with a lady who is so good； so beautiful； so angelically mild； that were she as wise too she would be quite a—。Her eyes are like a reflection of
Do you know； dearest； how this letter was written？ By scrap and patches and interrupted every minute。 The gondola is now ing to take me to the banker's Este is a little place and the house found without difficulty。 I shall count four days for this letter； one day for packing； four for ing here—and the ninth or tenth day we shall meet。
I am too late for the post； but I send an express to overtake it。 Enclosed is an order for fifty pounds。 If you knew all that I have to do！ Dearest love； be well； be happy； e to me。 Confide in your own constant and affectionate
Kiss the blueeyed darlings for me； and do not let William forget me。 Clara cannot recollect me。

贝婷·布伦塔诺致歌德
贝婷·布伦塔诺（1785—1859），德国女作家，本名伊丽莎白·布伦塔诺，常与贝多芬和歌德通信。1835年，她的《歌德与一个孩子的通信》一书发表。她是当时德国革命文艺运动中“年轻的德国”的热情支持者。
亲爱的歌德：
你了解我的心；你明白我心里只有向往、思念、预感和渴望；你生活在精神的世界里，它们给你神圣的智慧，你一定要滋养我的心灵。我以前不懂得向你索求，你却已经给了我。我的才智很浅薄，但我的爱情却很深厚，你一定要使它们得到平衡。爱情往前发展，理智却不曾跟随，这样的爱不能稳定。你明白我有多爱你，你友好、温柔而且痴情。请告诉我，我的心在何时失去了平衡，我会明白你的暗示。
你落在我身上的凝眸和你印在我唇上的热吻，都向我说明了这一切。对于我这样的人来说，这令人高兴的眼神和热吻使我懂得了更多。我们相隔很远，我所给你的注视和热吻，对我来说已逐渐陌生，我一定要回忆起在你怀抱里的温柔时光。于是我开始哭泣，但不知什么时候眼泪已流干。是的，在深深的静谧之中，他对我一往情深（我就是这样想的），难道我就不应该怀着永不动摇的深情，和他遥通心声吗？啊，想一想我的心要对你说些什么吧！我要对你不停地轻叹细语。我希望此生惟一的幸福就是你对我的情意连绵不绝。啊，亲爱的朋友，我只需要你的暗示，说你的心里只有我。
你永远的
贝婷

Dear Goethe；
You know my heart； you know that all there is desire； thought； boding and longing； you live among spirits； and they give you divine wisdom。 You must nourish me； you give all that in advance which I do not understand to ask for。 My mind has a small embrace； my love a large one； you must bring them to a balance。 Love cannot be quiet till the mind matches its growth； you are matched to my love； you are friendly； kind and indulgent； let me know when my heart is off the balance。 I understand your silent signs。
A look from your eyes into mine； a kiss from you upon my lips； instructs me in all； what might seem delightful to learn； to one who like me； had experience from those。 I am far from you； mine are bee strange to me。 I must ever return in thought to that hour when you hold me in the soft fold of your arm。 Then I begin to weep； but the tears dry again unawares。 Yes； he reaches with his love（thus I think） over to me in this concealed stillness； and should not I； with my eternal undisturbed longing； reach to him in the distance？ Ah； conceive what my heart has to say to you； it overflows with soft sighs and whisper to you。 Be my only happiness on earth your friendly will to me。 O； dear friend； give me but a sign that you are conscious of me。
Yours forever；
Bettina
邓尼斯·狄德罗致索菲·福朗
邓尼斯·狄德罗（1713—1784），法国启蒙思想家、哲学家、无神论者、文学家。狄德罗出生于法国的朗格尔，童年时曾在教会学校接受教育；19岁时获得巴黎大学文学硕士学位。因为他不愿按照父亲的要求学医或法律，父亲停止了对他的资助，他只好自谋生路。在此期间，狄德罗广泛接触社会，磨炼了自己的意志。1743年，他认识了卢梭。1745年，他应出版商之邀，开始主持编纂《百科全书》，并以《百科全书》的编写和出版为中心，掀起了法国启蒙运动的高潮。狄德罗对法国、英国、德国的作家和思想家都有过很大的影响。
亲爱的索菲：
我不能不对你说几句话再离开此地。你看，我的宝贝，你对我抱有莫大的期望。你说，你的幸福，甚至你的生命都取决于我是否爱你！
亲爱的索菲，千万不要担心，你将永远拥有我的爱，你会幸福地活下去。我从来没有犯下罪行，也不会去犯罪。我完全属于你——你是我的一切。在人生将要经历的苦难中，我们要同甘共苦；你要除去我的烦恼，我要为你排忧解闷。但愿我能看见你永远像现在这样。至于我自己，你得承认，我就是你第一天见到我时那样，没有任何改变。
这不是我的优点，但确实是心灵的呼声，它表现出一种美好的品质，而且日复一日，你将感受更深。相信我会对你忠贞不渝，我将把你的美德铭刻在心。没有人像我这样合乎情理地对你痴迷。 亲爱的索菲，难道你不亲切可人吗？看看自己吧——看你多么值得爱慕，我又是多么爱你。这就是我永恒不变的感情。
晚安，亲爱的索菲，一个男人得知自己拥有世界上最好的女人的爱，这是多么幸福啊。
你永远的
邓尼斯

Dear Sophie；
I cannot leave this place without saying a few words to you。 So； my pet； you expect a good deal from me。 Your happiness； your life； even depend； you say； upon my ever loving you！
Never fear； my dear Sophie； that will endure； and you shall live； and be happy。 I have never mitted a crime yet； and am not going to begin。 I am wholly yours—you are everything to me。 We will sustain each other in all the ills of life it may please fate to inflict upon us； you will soothe my troubles； I will fort you in yours。 Would that I could always see you as you have been lately ！ As for myself； you must confess that I am just as I was on the first day you saw me。
This is no merit of my own； but I owe it in justice to myself to tell you so。 It is one effect of good qualities to be felt more vividly from day to day。 Be assured of my constancy to yours； and of my appreciation of them。 Never was a passion more justified by reason than mine。 Is it not true； my dear Sophie； that you are very amiable？ Examine yourself—see how worthy you are of being loved； and know that I love you very much。 That is the unvarying standard of my feelings。
Good night； my dear Sophia。 I am as happy as man can be in knowing that I am loved by the best of women。
Yours forever，
Dennis
