Even no...He was very passionate though, wasn't he? Even now, his love letters exude an almost painful physical intensity. He definitely had no fear of expressing his deepest desires and was quite gifted in that respect!Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950282101785558588.post-47695477395591279912007-10-11T18:03:00.000-07:002007-10-11T18:03:00.000-07:00He never really got over her, did he, even though ...He never really got over her, did he, even though he divorced her for the sake of the illusive dream of creating a dynasty? I utterly despise her, and I cannot forgive her for betraying him in the earliest days of their relationship. Well, I am well aware that my entire attitude about Napoleon is riddled with personal bias. I never outgrew that childhood hero worship. I still celebrate his birthday and remember the anniversary of his death. If I were in Paris, I would leave violets on his tomb. Utterly ridiculous but it has developed into a quasi-sacred ritual, rather divorced from reality!Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1950282101785558588.post-60420535461294385982007-10-11T16:02:00.000-07:002007-10-11T16:02:00.000-07:00Hello, haven't been around for awhile, glad to see...Hello, haven't been around for awhile, glad to see you're posting up a thoughtful storm.<BR/><BR/>As for Napoleon, even later in his life, he wrote her after a battle: "I return.
