约瑟芬致拿破仑(二)
约瑟芬致拿破仑(二)
玛莉?约瑟芬（1763—1814），拿破仑一世的第一位皇后（1804—1809）。1809年拿破仑怀疑约瑟芬不能再生育，取消与她的婚约。约瑟芬离婚后独居马尔梅松。约瑟芬去世前四年始终对拿破仑怀有感情，本信即她重申对拿破仑别后的情感。
你并没有把我忘记，我心中感激不尽。刚才，我的儿子把你的信带给我。我怀着炽热的感情，用了很长的时间才读完它，因为信里每一个字都让我潸然泪下；不过，这是甜蜜的眼泪，我已彻底恢复平静了，以后也一直会这样；有些感情就如同生命本身，它们只会随着生命的结束而终止。
当知道我十九日的信让你感到不快时，我非常失望。那封信的内容我已经记不清了，然而，我知道自己是怀着非常痛苦的心情写下那封信的，痛苦的原因是我从你那里没有收到哪怕是一个字。
我刚离开马尔梅松时就曾写信给你；后来我又有多少次想写信给你啊！但是我感觉到你保持缄默是有原因的，我怕给你写信会让你觉得我对你纠缠不休。对我而言，你的信是莫大的安慰。我衷心地祝你快乐，尽情地享受你所应得的快乐吧。你也曾带给我快乐，一份极大的快乐，没有其他东西比它更值得我深深地刻在记忆里了。
再见了，我的朋友，我将用无限的温柔来感谢你，如同我一直用无限的温柔来爱你那样。
约瑟芬

A thousand, thousand tender thanks for not having forgotten me. My son has just brought me your letter. With what ardor I read it and yet it has taken a deal of time, because there is not a word which has not made me weep; but those tears were very sweet! I have recovered my heart entirely, and such as it will always be; there are feelings which are life itself, and which may not end but with life.
I am in despair that my letter of the 19th should have displeased you. I do not entirely recall the wording，but I know what very painful feeling had dictated it. It was grief at not having a word from you.
I wrote you on leaving Malmaison, and how many times thereafter did I wish to write! But I felt the reasons for your silence, and I feared to seem importunate by writing. Your letter has been a balm to me. Be happy; be as happy as you deserve; it is my whole heart that speaks. You have given me my share, too, of happiness, and a share very keenly felt; nothing else can have for me the value of a token of remembrance.
Adieu, my friend, I thank you as tenderly as I shall love you always.
