Immortal Beloved

 


Love always, from the pen of Ludwig, but the heart of Suzanne.

February 1/ 2008
My angel, my all, my very self--only a few words today and that with your pencil. Why this deep sorrow where necessity speaks? Can our love endure only though sacrifices? Though demanding everything? Can you change that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine?

Oh God, look unto the beauties of nature and comfort yourself with that which must be. Love demands everything and that very justly--that it is with me so far as you are concerned, and you with me. If we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I.

Now a quick change of things internal to things external. We shall surely see each other , moreover, I cannot communicate to you the observations I have made during the last few days  touching my own life. If our hearts were always close together I would make non of the kind. My heart is full of many things to say to you.--Ah!-there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all. Cheer up, remain my true, only treasure, my all as I am yours. The Gods must send us the rest that which shall be the best for us.

 Ever Thine
Ever Mine
Ever Yours

-Ludwig

 your ever loving,
Suzie
