Letter to the Immortal Beloved

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 - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yess, I am resolved to wanter so long away from you until i can fly to you arms and say that i am really home wit hyou, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land 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 hear - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet me life in V is now a wretched life - You love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At an age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection?....Be calms, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our 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 hear of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever our
L. Beethoven.
