Diary of Marie Bashkirtseff

All night I dreamed of Cassagnac; we were in a fairly large gathering, I do not know where. It was so calm, so enchanting. I knew he was married, but I knew that he loved me too. And I was completely happy. It often happens in my dreams that we love each other in this way and I feel an incomparable happiness — and all this with nothing… earthly, not even kisses. Which must prove that it is true, pure love.
