Most gracious lady, consider my long, true and faithful heart toward you, and let not this unfortunate place here bereave me of that which above all the world I esteem there, which is your favour and your presence… I do humbly and from my heart prostrate at your feet beg this grace at your sacred hands, that you will be pleased to let me return to my home service with your favour. -  23 May 1586

Establishing a reliable image for Anne Boleyn only accentuates the evidence of contemporaries that her attraction was not outstanding natural beauty. What, then, explains her power? In the first place, she radiated sex. The heir to the Earl of Northumberland would try to break a six-year-old engagement for her; Sir Thomas Wyatt would become passionately involved; and it was the inability of a Flemish musician to stand the heady atmosphere around her that would help bring Anne to destruction. As for Henry, the King's own letters show how explicit was his desire: "Mine own sweetheart, this shall be to advertise you of the great loneliness that I find here since your departing - for I assure you, methinketh the time longer since your departing now last, than I was wont to do a whole fortnight. I think your kindness and my fervencies of love causeth it; for otherwise I would not have thought it possible for so little a while it should have grieved me....wishing myself (especially of an evening) in my sweet-heart's arms, whose pretty duckies I trust shortly to kiss."
