You have fulfilled all my ambition, realized all my hopes, made all my dreams come true.
Yo have set a crown of roses on my youth and fortified my against the disaster of our days. Your courageous gaiety has inspired me with joy. Your tender faithfulness has been a rock of security and comfort. I have felt for you all kinds of love at once.
I have asked much of you and you have never failed me. You have intensified all colours, heightened all beauty, deepened all delight. I love you more than life, my beauty, my wonder.
Duff Cooper, English politician, to Diana, his future wife.
