Louise de la Vallière

Book Review   by:sunyung     Original Author: Monique de Huertas
ª
This abstract was translated from Louise de la Vallière
 
"Louis had three loves. Marry, by the spirit. Athénais by the direction. And Louise by the heart. .." She n'eut only two passions in his existence: God and Louis XIV. King first, she crazily in love tomba as early as their first encounter, but, ten years later, his exclusive love and made lose interest in the conduisit, by diverted ways, to the harbors of the Carmel. Favorite adulated and hated by a lot, two times already she had wanted to flee the world, but the King Sun, come in person to resume it to the convent, some had prevented it, as the had done a little later Colbert, dispatched with her to bring back it again to the Course. In 1674 nevertheless, his decision is taken. She abandons Versailles and the unfaithful one, withdraws itself with the Carmelites of the Holy suburb jacques. Irrevocable. In all the brightness of his beauty, Louise Françoise of The Balm The White, duchess of The Vallière, renounce definitively to the human vanities. She has at pains thirty years, gave to the king four children. Two only survived and were legitimized: the future princess of Conti and the count of Vermandois. It remains him thirty-six years to live. Thirty-six exemplary years, of contemplation, of serenity, of mysticism, that never will come to disrupt or bitterness or the regrets. This this destined unique, or rather these two lives that all semblance to separate, that Monique of Huertas lights up of a new day, with emotion and fidelity, attaching itself to some to return the astonishing and deep complementarity.
