			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Monisha,</p>
<p>Thanks for being my love for one and half years, when you receive this letter I believe you might have selected a new boy friend and started enjoying your dating.</p>
<p>Every lovers needs to struggle a bit to get a boy friend or girl friend.</p>
<p>Monisha &#8230; In order to recover your missing, I got another girl from next street &amp; as you know this is my fourth love.</p>
<p>From all my past experiences I have learned a lot. When the love blossoms everyone starts writing love letters, you know very well&#8230; I have written many love letter to you , and writing a love letter in poetic way is not so easy nowadays MONISHA , and it&#8217;s a time consuming work, In order to avoid all this I need all my lover letters back so that I can put corrector and send to my new girl friend , please send it back to me , I don&#8217;t have poetic references or any photocopy of these letters.</p>
<p>Another thing MONISHA, I have given you one cute photo of mine , can you send it to me please , you know better that this is the only photo I look very cute &amp; handsome and this photo I have taken when I was in my very first love.</p>
<p>And also, during my 1 ½ years of love days I have spend lot of monies for impressing you , I am attaching a list of expenses which I request you to clear it at the earliest.</p>
<p>The expenses are as follows: Lunch / Dinner ; 895, Cool Drinks 2938 Rs, Snacks 5645 Rs. , Juice 3845 Rs. Cinema 1235Rs. Internet Chatting 1499 Rs. , Mobile 2546 Rs. Petrol 4255 Rs. Gift Items 7850 Rs, &#8211; Grand Total : 30,708 rs (in Words : Thrity Thousand Seven Hundred and Eight Rupees).</p>
<p>Please try to clear the above amount so that I can spend these monies on my new girl friend, and more over if you have any of my gift lying with you, am ready to take these packs in half prices. Please calculate the value of packs left over and deduct it from the above statement of account.</p>
<p>I am enclosing herewith your love letters (Weigh around 4 Kg) so that you no need to write again to your boy friend and your photo so that you can give to your new BF.</p>
<p>Also, please advise your expenses which incurred during our dates, I don&#8217;t think you have got any expenditure during these dates, I have seen many time that you always forget your purse when it comes to pay.</p>
<p>Anyway I hope you will clear the above outstanding at the earliest and wishing you a very wonderful 6th love affair with Subil.</p>
<p>Your Ex-lover &#8230;.</p>
<p>Amanush</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="3">FrÃ¤ulein Felice!</p>
<p>I am now<br />
going to ask you a favor which sounds quite crazy, and which I should regard as<br />
such, were I the one to receive the letter. It is also the very greatest test<br />
that even the kindest person could be put to. Well, this is it:</p>
<p>Write to<br />
me only once a week, so that your letter arrives on Sunday &#8212; for I cannot<br />
endure your daily letters, I am incapable of enduring them. For instance, I<br />
answer one of your letters, then lie in bed in apparent calm, but my heart beats<br />
through my entire body and is conscious only of you. I belong to you; there is<br />
really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough. But for<br />
this very reason I don&#8217;t want to know what you are wearing; it confuses me so<br />
much that I cannot deal with life; and that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t want to know that you<br />
are fond of me. If I did, how could I, fool that I am, go on sitting in my<br />
office, or here at home, instead of leaping onto a train with my eyes shut and<br />
opening them only when I am with you? Oh, there is a sad, sad reason for not<br />
doing so. To make it short: My health is only just good enough for myself alone,<br />
not good enough for marriage, let alone fatherhood. Yet when I read your letter,<br />
I feel I could overlook even what cannot possibly be overlooked.</p>
<p>If only<br />
I had your answer now! And how horribly I torment you, and how I compel you, in<br />
the stillness of your room, to read this letter, as nasty a letter as has ever<br />
lain on your desk! Honestly, it strikes me sometimes that I prey like a spectre<br />
on your felicitous name! If only I had mailed Saturday&#8217;s letter, in which I<br />
implored you never to write to me again, and in which I gave a similar promise.<br />
Oh God, what prevented me from sending that letter? All would be well. But is a<br />
peaceful solution possible now? Would it help if we wrote to each other only<br />
once a week? No, if my suffering could be cured by such means it would not be<br />
serious. And already I foresee that I shan&#8217;t be able to endure even the Sunday<br />
letters. And so, to compensate for Saturday&#8217;s lost opportunity, I ask you with<br />
what energy remains to me at the end of this letter: If we value our lives, let<br />
us abandon it all.</p>
<p>Did I think of signing myself Dein? No, nothing could<br />
be more false. No, I am forever fettered to myself, that&#8217;s what I am, and that&#8217;s<br />
what I must try to live with.</p>
<p><b>Franz<br /></b></font><font size="3"><b>11 November, 1912</b></p>
<p></font><i><font size="3">Franz Kafka (1883 &#8211; 1924) worked for<br />
much of his life as an official in an insurance company. His extrordinary works<br />
of fiction were written largely in his spare time and many of his novels were<br />
published after his death from tuberculosis. Kafka first met Felice Bauer in<br />
1912; for five years they pursued a tempestuous and ultimately unfulfilled love<br />
affair.</font></i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="3">My dear Nora,</p>
<p>It has just struck me. I came in at half past<br />
eleven. Since then I have been sitting in an easy chair like a fool. I could do<br />
nothing. I hear nothing but your voice. I am like a fool hearing you call me<br />
&#8216;Dear.&#8217; I offended two men today by leaving them coolly. I wanted to hear your<br />
voice, not theirs.</p>
<p>When I am with you I leave aside my contemptuous,<br />
suspicious nature. I wish I felt your head on my shoulder. I think I will go to<br />
bed.</p>
<p>I have been a half-hour writing this thing. Will you write something<br />
to me? I hope you will. How am I to sign myself? I won&#8217;t sign anything at all,<br />
because I don&#8217;t know what to sign myself.<br /></font><br /><b><small>James Joyce</small></b><br /><small><b><font size="3"><small>15 August,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My letters will have shown you how lovely I am. I don&#8217;t dine at Court, I see<br />
few people, and take my walks alone, and at every beautiful spot I wish you were<br />
there.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t help loving you more than is good for me; I shall feel all the<br />
happier when I see you again. I am always conscious of my nearness to you, your<br />
presence never leaves me. In you I have a measure for every woman, for everyone;<br />
in your love a measure for all that is to be. Not in the sense that the rest of<br />
the world seems obscure tome, on the contrary, your love makes it clear; I see<br />
quite clearly what men are like and what they plan, wish, do and enjoy; I don&#8217;t<br />
grudge them what they have, and comparing is a secret joy to me, possessing as I<br />
do such an imperishable treasure.&nbsp;</p>
<p>You in your household must feel as I often do in my affairs; we often don&#8217;t<br />
notice objects simply because we don&#8217;t choose to look at them, but things<br />
acquire an interest as soon as we see clearly the way they are related to each<br />
other. For we always like to join in, and the good man takes pleasure in<br />
arranging, putting in order and furthering the right and its peaceful rule.<br />
Adieu, you whom I love a thousand times.<b><br /></b></p>
<p><b>June 17, 1784</b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My beloved angel,</p>
<p>I am<br />
nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two<br />
ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them.</p>
<p>I can no longer<br />
think of anything but you.&nbsp; In spite of myself, my imagination carries me<br />
to you.&nbsp; I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most<br />
amorous caresses take possession of me.</p>
<p>As for my heart, there you will<br />
always be &#8211; very much so.&nbsp; I have a delicious sense of you there.&nbsp; But<br />
my God, what is to become of me, if you have deprived me of my reason?&nbsp;<br />
This is a monomania which, this morning, terrifies me.</p>
<p>I rise up every<br />
moment saying to myself, &#8220;Come, I am going there!&#8221; Then I sit down again, moved<br />
by the sense of my obligations.&nbsp; There is a frightful conflict.&nbsp; This<br />
is not life.&nbsp; I have never before been like that.&nbsp; You have devoured<br />
everything.</p>
<p>I feel foolish and happy as soon as I think of you.&nbsp; I<br />
whirl round in a delicious dream in which in one instant I live a thousand<br />
years. What a horrible situation!</p>
<p>Overcome with love, feeling love in<br />
every pore, living only for love, and seeing oneself consumed by griefs, and<br />
caught in a thousand spiders&#8217; threads.</p>
<p>O, my darling Eva, you did not<br />
know it.&nbsp; I picked up your card.&nbsp; It is there before me, and I talk to<br />
you as if you were there.&nbsp; I see you, as I did yesterday, beautiful,<br />
astonishingly beautiful.</p>
<p>Yesterday, during the whole evening, I said to<br />
myself &#8220;she is mine!&#8221; Ah!&nbsp; The angels are not as happy in Paradise as I was<br />
yesterday!</p>
<p><b>Honore de Balzac</b><br /><small><i><b>Sunday 19th June 1836</b></i></small></p>

Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are<br />

sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store<br />

your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last<br />
night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait<br />
gives!</p>
<p>You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three<br />
hours.</p>
<p>Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in<br />
return, for they set my blood on fire.<br /><b><br /></b></font><b><font size="3">Paris,<br />

self &#8212; only a few words today and at that with your pencil &#8212; not till tomorrow<br />
will my lodgings be definitely determined upon &#8212; what a useless waste of time.<br />
Why this deep sorrow where necessity speaks &#8212; can our love endure except<br />
through sacrifices &#8212; except through not demanding everything &#8212; can you change<br />
it that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine?</p>
<p>Oh, God! look out<br />
into the beauties of nature and comfort yourself with that which must be &#8212; love<br />
demands everything and that very justly &#8212; that it is with me so far as you are<br />
concerned, and you with<br />me. If we were wholly united you would feel the pain<br />
of it as little as I!</p>
<p>Now a quick change to things internal from things<br />
external. We shall surely see each other; moreover, I cannot communicate to you<br />
the observations I have made during the last few days touching my own life &#8212; if<br />
our hearts were always close together I would make none of the kind. My heart is<br />
full of many things to say to you &#8211; Ah! &#8212; there are moments when I feel that<br />
speech is nothing after all &#8212; cheer up &#8212; remain my true, only treasure, my all<br />
as I am yours; the gods must send us the rest that which shall be best for<br />
us.</p>

October 28, 1876
<p><font color="#000000"><br />My Dearest Gertrude:</p>
<p>You will be sorry, and<br />
surprised, and puzzled, to hear what a queer illness I have had ever since you<br />
went. I sent for the doctor, and said, &#8220;Give me some medicine. for I&#8217;m tired.&#8221;<br />
He said, &#8220;Nonsense and stuff! You don&#8217;t want medicine: go to bed!&#8221;</p>
<p>I<br />
said, &#8220;No; it isn&#8217;t the sort of tiredness that wants bed. I&#8217;m tired in the<br />
face.&#8221; He looked a little grave, and said, &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s your nose that&#8217;s tired: a<br />
person often talks too much when he thinks he knows a<br />great deal.&#8221; I said,<br />
&#8220;No, it isn&#8217;t the nose. Perhaps it&#8217;s the hair.&#8221; Then he looked rather grave, and<br />
said, &#8220;Now I understand: you&#8217;ve been playing too many hairs on the<br />
pianoforte.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, indeed I haven&#8217;t!&#8221; I said, &#8220;and it isn&#8217;t exactly the<br />
hair: it&#8217;s more about the nose and chin.&#8221; Then he looked a good deal graver, and<br />
said, &#8220;Have you been walking much on your chin lately?&#8221; I said, &#8220;No.&#8221; &#8220;Well!&#8221; he<br />
said, &#8220;it puzzles me very much.</p>
<p>Do you think it&#8217;s in the lips?&#8221; &#8220;Of<br />
course!&#8221; I said. &#8220;That&#8217;s exactly what it is!&#8221;</p>
<p>Then he looked very grave<br />
indeed, and said, &#8220;I think you must have been giving too many kisses.&#8221; &#8220;Well,&#8221; I<br />
said, &#8220;I did give one kiss to a baby child, a little friend of<br />
mine.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Think again,&#8221; he said; &#8220;are you sure it was only one?&#8221; I thought<br />
again, and said, &#8220;Perhaps it was eleven times.&#8221; Then the doctor said, &#8220;You must<br />
not give her any more till your lips are quite rested<br />again.&#8221; &#8220;But what am I<br />
to do?&#8221; I said, &#8220;because you see, I owe her a hundred and eighty-two more.&#8221; Then<br />
he looked so grave that tears ran down his cheeks, and he said, &#8220;You may send<br />
them to her in a box.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then I remembered a little box that I once bought<br />
at Dover, and thought I would someday give it to some little girl or other. So I<br />
have packed them all in it very carefully. Tell me if they come safe or if any<br />
are lost on the way.&#8221;<i><br /><b><br />Lewis Carroll&nbsp;</b></i></font> </p>
