A Romantic Love Letter written by Beethoven to his
“immortal beloved”.
This romantic love letter was written by Beethoven on the Evening, Monday, July 6 1806
You are suffering, my dearest creature – only now have I learned that letters must be posted very early in the morning on Mondays to Thursdays – the only days on which the mail-coach goes from here to K. -
You are suffering -
Ah, wherever I am, there you are also – I will arrange it with you and me that I can live with you.
What a life!!! thus!!! without you – pursued by the goodness of mankind hither and thither – which I as little want to deserve as I deserve it -
Humility of man towards man – it pains me – and when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I and what is He – whom we call the greatest – and yet – herein lies the divine in man -
I weep when I reflect that you will probably not receive the first report from me until Saturday -
Much as you love me – I love you more -
But do not ever conceal yourself from me – good night -
As I am taking the baths I must go to bed -
Oh God – so near! so far!
Is not our love truly a heavenly structure, and also as firm as the vault of heaven?
