EXPLOITATION OF LOVE. OH! MY DARLING. I CANNOT SAY HOW MUCH I ADMIRE, HOW MUCH I CARESS THE CHARMING PORTRAIT WHICH YOU SENT ME! YOU EVEN HAD IT EMBELLISHED WITH PRECIOUS STONES. WHAT FOLLY!! YOU MUSTN'T DO THINGS LIKE THAT. IT GRIEVES ME... AND THIS WATCH CHAIN. HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS! HOW RICHLY DECORATED!!... I'D LIKE TO OFFER YOU A NICE PRESENT IN RETURN, SOMETHING TO REMIND YOU OF OUR LOVE AND HAPPINESS... I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LOCK OF MY HAIR
Honoré Daumier
Exploitation de l’amour. Ô mon trésor ! Avec quel plaisir j’admire, je caresse le charmant portrait que tu m’as envoyé !……. Mais tu l’as fait orner de brillans, quelle folie ! Ne fais donc plus de ces choses là, tu me fais de la peine…… Et cette chaine de montre, comme elle est belle ! Comme elle est riche !…… Aussi, je veux à mon tour t’offrir un présent qui te soit agréable, qui te rappelle notre amour, notre bonheur……. Je veux te donner une mèche de mes cheveux…….
