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 - 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 - 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 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 our connection? 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, 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 heart
of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
