1 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting Sandra Fisher

2 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting Do we really know what love is? We are living at a time when love seems to be absent. It is far from being the motivating influence in the world. Even movies and games are mostly about violence these days because they reflect the society that we live in. Is it any wonder that romantic love has taken a back seat? What is love becomes a very relevant question indeed. Shakespeare penned the following words about romantic love more than 4 centuries ago: Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds Or bends with the remover to remove O no it is an ever fixed mark A guide to every wandering bark Shakespeare s intuitive understanding of the real meaning of true love appears right there in the very first line of his sonnet: Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. We all change over time. Life changes us and we begin to lose the beauty of our youth. But true love endures through youth and old age; and it can remain constant no matter what changes the loved one undergoes. But what has this to do with handwriting? A great deal! Because it's possible to read the expression of love in the actual handwriting of a love letter.

3 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting Elizabeth Taylor Take a look at this letter written by Elizabeth Taylor in 1949 at age 17 when she was engaged to William Pawley, the son of a wealthy American ambassador. Picture: dailymail.co.uk

4 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting So what can we see in her handwriting? Firstly the ardour in the forward slanting letters show how hard she is trying to reach out to him. Then there s also some evidence of a bit of depression as we can see from the downward trend at the end of each line. There s passion and fervour in the words that she emphasizes by underlining them as well as in the extra long lower loops that tend to get tangled in the lines below. Her t-bars show a lot of vigour and persistence she would not give him up without a fight. But unfortunately the relationship did turn sour and she debated within herself as to whether she should give the ring back or not. So you see, the emotion in a love letter stays alive even if the letter goes yellow with age as we see in the following love letter by the rather exotic Mexican artist - Frida Kahlo.

5 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting Frida Kahlo Picture from Maria Popova s Brain Pickings

6 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting Frida Kahlo was a free-spirited and colourful personality. And there is certainly passion in this letter. But there is also an appealing sincerity and a surprising childlike quality in her rather unpretentious and open handwriting. She was an amazing woman who defeated enormous odds but remained positive and upbeat despite having to put up with a great deal of physical trauma. Following is an excerpt from Maria Popova s wonderful blog at At a young age, she contracted polio, which left her right leg underdeveloped an imperfection she d later come to disguise with her famous colorful skirts. A decade later, as one of only thirty- ve female students at Mexico s prestigious Preparatoria school, she was in a serious traffic accident It took her three months in full-body cast to recover and though she eventually willed her way to walking again, she spent the rest of her life battling frequent relapses of extreme pain and enduring frequent hospital visits, including more than thirty operations. As a way of occupying herself while bedridden, Kahlo made her rst strides in painting then went on to become one of the most in uential painters in modern art. A remarkable story about the triumph of the human spirit.

7 Famous Love Letters in Handwriting The Browning Love Letters And then of course there are the famous love letters of Elizabeth Barret and Robert Browning which you can find here: Browning Love Letters The famous love a air of Elizabeth Barret Browning and Robert Browning is the stuff that legend is made of. Many books have been written about them and several lms have been made about their wonderfully romantic love a air. People never seem to tire of The Barrets of Wimpole Street no matter how many times it has been filmed. Elizabeth Barret was an invalid kept under strict surveillance by her father who threatened to disinherit her if she ever married. But the couple married in secret and their many love letters have been preserved and digitized for us in a joint project by Wellesley College, Massachusetts and Baylor University in Texas. When I researched these letters I must say I was fascinated and could hardly tear myself away. Most of the time I felt that I was peeping over their shoulders and that I really had no right to be reading something so private even though they were written so many years ago.

8 Famous Love letters in Handwriting As we would expect from such a literary couple their letters are beautifully expressed and because of their great love for one another they remain eternally fresh. I have here for you two excerpts of their faded but beautiful letters. I am also including a sampling of the contents of the letters just to give you an idea of how beautifully they are expressed. Their story will live on wherever there are lovers of true romance. Elizabeth Barret Browning

9 Famous Love letters in Handwriting Notice how Elizabeth s handwriting shows a fine and light pressure partially due to her delicate health. And here is a sample of Robert Browning's handwriting which is much more robust:

10 Famous Love letters in Handwriting Excerpt of the rst letter that Robert Browning wrote to Elizabeth Barret: I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett, and this is no o hand complimentary letter that I shall write, whatever else, no prompt matter-of-course recognition of your genius, and there a graceful and natural end of the thing. Since the day last week when I rst read your poems, I quite laugh to remember how I have been turning and turning again in my mind what I should be able to tell you of their e ect upon me, for in the rst ush of delight I thought I would this once get out of my habit of purely passive enjoyment, when I do really enjoy, and thoroughly justify my admiration in this addressing myself to you your own self, and for the rst time, my feeling rises altogether. I do, as I say, love these books with all my heart and I love you too. Do you know I was once not very far from seeing really seeing you? Mr. Kenyon said to me one morning Would you like to see Miss Barrett? then he went to announce me, then he returned you were too unwell.. Well, these Poems were to be, and this true thankful joy and pride with which I feel myself, Yours ever faithfully, Robert Browning.

11 Famous Love letters in Handwriting Elizabeth replied the next day January 11, 1845 I thank you, dear Mr. Browning, from the bottom of my heart. You meant to give me pleasure by your letter and even if the object had not been answered, I ought still to thank you. But it is thoroughly answered. Such a letter from such a hand! Sympathy is dear very dear to me: but the sympathy of a poet, and of such a poet, is the quintessence of sympathy to me! Will you take back my gratitude for it? agreeing, too, that of all the commerce done in the world, from Tyre to Carthage, the exchange of sympathy for gratitude is the most princely thing! I am writing too much, and notwithstanding that I am writing too much, I will write of one thing more. I will say that I am your debtor, not only for this cordial letter and for all the pleasure which came with it, but in other ways, and those the highest: and I will say that while I live to follow this divine art of poetry, in proportion to my love for it and my devotion to it, I must be a devout admirer and student of your works. This is in my heart to say to you and I say it. And, for the rest, I am proud to remain Your obliged and faithful Elizabeth B. Barrett.
