I haven’t the time to doddle and explain what I have posted here. Only know what there is great turmoil going on in the land of Guilder and that the hearts of such a fantastical place are hard pressed to become one. It will not be much longer however, and we shall be together. And once this is so, the land will be graceful again and all will rejoice in their happiness! Until then, know that we hearts have seen Sex and the City, secretly (hush!)and my eyes were reopened for a two and one day, seeing with the eyes of the witch that I am. Sadly, these eyes of mine have found themselves back in the prisons of patronage and have shed more tears than bares memory. Only know this: That I go to my beloved! I flee to him! I rush on wings of tattered soul & will soon be whole once again!
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us …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 land of spirits …No one else can ever possess my heart – never – never – Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves … Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men …
My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day – therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once …
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 your beloved.
Ever thine,Ever mine,
Ever ours.
… The Immortal Beloved Letters, Ludwig van Beethoven
