Peter Abelard

The story of Abelard and Heloise remains one of the world's most celebrated and tragic love affairs. Through their letters, we follow the path of their romance from its reckless and ecstatic beginnings when Heloise became Abelard's pupil, through the suffering of public scandal and enforced secret marriage, to their eventual separation.

The Letters of Abelard and Heloise

She is in love with him. He is in love with her. But he thinks that God likes it that he’s got his balls (and dick?) cut off. But he still remembers that time in the refectory, and she does as well, but god there are innumerable stupid men who deserve to be cut down to size by a fiesty eunuch—if she could see me, she would agree, but she cannot and would just like to love me.
