"Whenever they speak of great men, they will remember Peter Abelard" Heloise "If I am remembered, it will be for this: that I was loved by Heloise" Abelard The tragic love story of Heloise and Abelard is one of history's most romantic love stories. It is the story of 12th century theologian and philosopher Abelard and the unabiding love for his student, twenty years his junior, Heloise. As the story goes, nineteen year old Heloise is questioning human existence. For she is a truth-seeker and student of life and great abiding knowledge. At this time, only one man could become her teacher, Pierre (Peter) Abelard, twenty years her senior. Abelard is a well-known theologian and philosopher in 12th century Paris, France. He becomes her teacher and they discover mutual spiritual and physical desires metered by her intelligence and wit. They fall deeply in love, against all the odds. When Heloise tells him she is pregnant, they flee to Brittany where Abelard was born. Heloise's cousin, Canon Fulbert arranges a secret marriage but shortly after they are wed, Fulbert's plot to ruin Abelard and keep Heloise for himself is discovered. Wanting only her safety, Heloise leaves for a convent in Argenteuil. Sadly, for Abelard it is too late and he is brutally attacked in Paris. As a result, Abelard believes himself incapable of continuing teaching. Heloise and Abelard agree to take Holy Orders as a monk and a nun. Heloise must give up her child, knowing that she will never see her again. In spite of their separation they corresponded for twenty years. There letters survive and their love for one another is evident throughout. A chance meeting comes for them both years later in Paris and once they see each other, they know they have never stopped loving each other. They promise to remain, "Forever One." They never meet again but their love endures within their love letters and in illuminated manuscripts, engravings, and paintings.

But if my star should rise and turn back the dark, My mind will no longer know the darkness of grief. You are my day star, my Lucifer: Without you even light is night to me, And with you even night is splendid light. Farewell, my star, whose splendor never wanes. Farewell, my highest hope, in whom alone I am well pleased, whom I never need bring back to mind since you never fade from mind. Farewell. (Letter 20, 'The Man to the Woman,' in the Lost Love Letters of Abelard & Heloise) The Farewell of Abelard and Héloïse Angelica Kauffman 1780 The star of joyous face is dulled under the heart's dark cloud. the laughter from my lips grows cold-- bereft of her, my song of joy, I must lament: she who was near me is hidden now, in whom my heart's strength flowers, (in whom) all of me dwells. In the dance of Love she shines beyond the rest, she whose name is radiant with the light of Helios, who serves as mirror for the earth--I worship her, I long only to look on her in this world! I lament my day to day loneliness, I who with the strength of night's compliantness stole many a kiss from lips dewy with cinnamon-- and still her scent of cassia pierces my heart's home! Yet she, without a hope for solace, wastes away, the flower of her youth grows dry-- if only this great gulf of space were done away with, that this parting might grant rights which are secure to those who are joined! Abelard, 'Dull Is The Star' (This Latin poem, 'Hebet sidus laeti visus,' contains a pun on Heloise's name--Helios--in the second stanza.)

THE STORY OF ABELARD AND HELOISE. It sometimes happens that Love is little esteemed by those who choose rather to think of Other affairs, and in requital He strongly manifests His power in unthought ways. Need is to think of Abelard and Heloise: how now his treatises and works are memories only, and how the love of her (who in lifetime received little comfort therefor) has been crowned with the violet crown of Grecian Sappho and the homage of all lovers. The world itself was learning a new love when these two met; was beginning to heed the quiet call of the spirit of the Renaissance, which, at its consummation, brought forth the glories of the Quattrocento. It was among the stone-walled, rose-covered gardens and clustered homes of ecclesiastics, who served the ancient Roman builded pile of Notre Dame, that Abelard found Heloise. From his noble father's home in Brittany, Abelard, gifted and ambitious, came to study with William of Champeaux in Paris. His advancement was rapid, and time brought him the acknowledged leadership of the Philosophic School of the city, a prestige which received added lustre from his controversies with his later instructor in theology, Anselm of Laon
