Even when I am in bed my thoughts rush to you, my eternally
beloved, now and then joyfully, then again sadly, waiting to know whether
Fate will hear our prayer – To face life I must live altogether with you
or never see you. Yes, I am resolved to be a wanderer abroad until I can
fly to your arms and say that I have found my true home with you and enfolded
in your arms can let my soul be wafted to the realm of blessed spirits
– alas, unfortunately it must be so – You will become composed, the more
so you know that I am faithful to you; no other woman can ever possess
my heart – never – never – Oh God, why must one be separated form her who
is so dear. Yet my life – at present is a miserable life – Your love has
made me both the happiest and the unhappiest of mortals – At my age I now
need stability and regularity in my life – can this coexist with our relationship?
– Angel, I have just heard that the post goes every day – and therefore
I must close, so that you may receive the letter immediately – Be calm;
for only by calmly considering our lives can we achieve our purpose to
live together – Be calm – love me – Today – yesterday – what tearful longing
for you – for you – you – my life – my all – all good wishes to you – Oh,
do continue to love me – never misjudge your lover's most faithful heart.
ever yours
ever mine
ever ours.
~ Ludwig van Beethoven
