“It was the flame of LUST rather than the feeling of LOVE” | Peter Abèlard and Heloïse

A touching exchange of billets-doux between Heloïse and Peter Abèlard (12th century).

“Every wife, every young girl desired you in your absence and was on fire in your presence; queens and great ladies envied me my joys and my bed”.
