Top Five Inspirational Love Letters
This Valentine's, we're reviving the handwritten love note by giving away #MVLoveLetters with every purchase and encouraging you to engrave your romantic words. To get you in the mood for writing, here are five of our favourite extracts from some of the most famous love letters of all time.
Zelda Fitzgerald to F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1919:
"There's nothing in all the world I want but you and your precious love […] You've trusted me with the dearest heart of all and it's so damn much more than anybody else in all the world has ever had"
Frida Kahlo to Diego Rivera, 1944:
"She who wears the color. He who sees the color. Since the year 1922. Until always and forever."
From Jimi Hendrix to a girlfriend, date unknown:
"little girl…..happiness is within you….so unlock the chains
from your heart and let yourself grow -
like the sweet flower you are…..I know the answer - Just spread
your wings and set yourself FREE. Love to you forever, Jimi
Hendrix"
John Keats to his 'girl next door' Fanny Brawne, 1820:
"The last of your kisses was ever the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest. When you pass'd my window home yesterday, I was fill'd with as much admiration as if I had then seen you for the first time."
Marlon Brando to an airline stewardess:
"It's been a pleasant if brief encounter and I wish you well and I hope we shall have occasion to cross eyes again sometime."
