JDCMB has received a mystery Valentine!
Well, a mystery to you. When/if I think of a suitable return message, you'll probably guess correctly...
Mademoiselle Jane Huré, to whom Gabriel Fauré dedicated his Chanson d’Amour in 1882, has surely by now earned a right of reply. It would go something like this:
“Let me get this straight. You love my eyes. And my forehead. You’ve mentioned each of those three times. Does that mean you actually love me - it's far from obvious! You call my voice strange, but you seem to like that too, right?. And there's this as yet undecided area you like... somewhere between my feet... and my hair? Plus you say you want to kiss me on the lips? And you've got some wishes, rising up towards me? Hm. I’d better see those..."
My mystery correspondent has also, helpfully, included
a link to the Fauré sheet music.
