Part of a letter sent by Rosa Luxemburg (political activist) to Leo Jogiches in March 1899, I found very lovely and something that a lot of us women and maybe men could connect to...here it is...(after the image)
''You have no idea with what joy and desire I wait for every letter from you because each one brings me so much strength and happiness and encourages me to live....
I was happiest of all with that part of your letter where you write that we are both young and can still arrange our personal life. Oh darling, how I long that you may fulfil your promise....
Our own little room, our furniture, a library of our own, quiet and regular work, walks together, an opera from time to time, a small- very small- circle of intimate friends who can sometimes be asked to dinner, every year a summer departure to the country for a month.. and perhaps even.. a baby?......
No couple on earth has so many facilities for happiness as you and I and if there is only some goodwill on our part, we will be, must be, happy.''
Oh for the hopeless romantics of this world :) I hope you like the extract x
In this cyber world, I miss the beauty of a well-written love letter! This is beautiful!

This is amazing!! As a hopeless romantic, I find such beauty in these vinotage treasures and remembracnes of love. I love reading the words of an old love letter...you can actually feel the love in what Rosa wrote. I sometimes think it would be so neat to have been able to live in the days when people wrote letters across the endless seas...wow.
