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
