“In the friendship I speak of, [the souls] mix and work themselves into one piece, with so universal a mixture, that there is no more sigh of the scam by which they were first conjoined. If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed than my making asnwer: because it was he, because it was I (parce que c'était lui, parce que c'était moi). I know not what inexplicable and fated power that brought on this union. We sought one another long before we met. I think 'twas by some sort of appointment of heaven. We embraced in our names.”
