vivelareine: [Louis XVI] spoke to his august consort in an infinitely cordial and tender manner, saying among other things that he loved her with all his heart and that he could swear to her he had never had the least feeling or sentiment for any woman, but for her alone. –Ambassador Mercy to Maria Theresa, 17 June 1779 [translation: Nesta Webster] -- source link
