"Love me—only love me!"
"Poor friend, my love is sad."
"It is perfect; it crowns my life."
"But you are young."
"I love you!"
"You should possess one with strength equal to your own."
"But it is you, and only you, that each day increases my strength and exalts my hope. My blood runs quicker when I am near you in your mystic silence. At those times things are born in my brain that in time you will marvel to see. You are necessary to me."
"Do not say that!"
"Each day you confirm me in the assurance that all promises made to me will be kept."
"Yes, you will have your own beautiful destiny. For you I have no fear; you are sure of yourself. No peril can surprise you, no obstacle can impede your progress. Oh, to be able to love without fear! One always fears when one loves. It is not for you that I fear. You seem to me invincible. I thank you for that also."
