This edition brings the classic 1903 translation made by Ralph Fletcher Seymour of the letters exchanged by the lovers Heloise and Abelard, a love story of the medieval times (from 1115) that inspired and influenced so many artists, writers, and lovers through history. "Love never yet was held by arms alone, nor its mysterious ministries constrained to forms or qualities. Like water sweet in barren land it lies within our lives, ever by its unsolved formula awakening us to fuller freedom".
