Another Short Love Letter by James Joyce the Irish writer.

James Joyce to His Wife

You are my only love.

You have me completely in your power.

I know and feel that if I am to write anything fine and noble in the future I shall do so only by listening at the doors of your heart.

I would like to go through life side by side with you, telling you more and more until we grew to be one being together until the hour should come for us to die.

James Joyce

Best known for his lengthy novels James Joyce shows he also knew how to keep in touch though letters to his wife. Given his reputation for fast living he starts this letter saying that his wife has him completely in her power. Obviously she did not or was not able to use that power to stop his excesses and affairs but nevertheless words like “I would like to live life through side by side with you” could have been true just the same.

We will be adding more roamntic love letters from this great Irish writer in the near future.
