A New Biography : Heloise and Abelard
"Know indeed that the midday sun has risen for you,
that the chorus of birds is rejoicing over your health...
And look too how, now
that this slight snow has melted, all things flourish again, the seasons will
smile on them and by the grace of God there will be for us a not unfamiliar
joy."
(Heloise)
"Physicists say often that the moon does not shine without the sun, and that
when deprived of this light, it is robbed of all benefit of heat and brightness
and presents to humans a dark ashen sphere."
(Abelard)
"To half my heart and part of my soul: what I am I entrust to you. I am yours as
long as I live..."
(Heloise)
