I hope
y’all are enjoying my Valentine’s post series! This week I though it would be
nice to keep up the Valentine’s theme in my Happy Hour post, so I have decided
to share one of my favorite love letters:
Good morning, on July 7
Though still in bed, my thoughts
go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, not and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting
to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can only live wholly with you or
not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly
to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul
enwrapped in you into the lands of spirits - Yes unhappily it must be so - You
will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can
ever possess my heart - never - never
- Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in
V[ienna] is now a wretched
life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - at
my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in out connection? My
angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes everyday - therefore I
must close at once so that you may receive the l[etter] at once. - Be calm,
only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve out purpose to
live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings
for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. -Oh continue to love me -
never misjudge the most faithful heart of you beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours

van Beethoven
