Napoleon to His Wife Josephine

“Since I left you, I have been constantly depressed. My happiness is to be near you. Incessantly I live over in my memory your caresses, your tears, your affectionate solicitude. The charms of the incomparable Josephine kindle continually a burning and a glowing flame in my heart. When, free from all solicitude, all harassing care, shall I be able to pass all my time with you, having only to love you, and to think only of the happiness of so saying, and of proving it to you?

Toreador 
English Translation

tor·e·a·dor
a bullfighter.



What is the difference between a toreador and a matador in 

the context of bullfighting?

It is possible to go through the whole act of leading and teasing the bull without killing it. All those fancy moves with the cape, getting the bull to charge and move about the bullfighter without getting harmed is what is called "torear".
The Torero becomes a "Matador" when he kills the bull; the final act when he pulls a sabre and plunges it into the bulls's heart. It should be a highly skilled move, that kills the bull instantly - thus it is considered an art in itself.
The reason the word is used interchangeably is that for the most part, the professional event nearly always ends with the killing of the bull. But if the bullfighter never kills the bull (as his regular practice), he's just a Torero
