Beethoven - Love Letters of Great Men

July 6, in the morning

My angel, my all, my very self - Only a few words today and at that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my

lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks -

can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the

fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart

with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and to your with me. But

you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I -

My journey was a fearful one; I did not reach here until 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the post-coach chose

another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of

a forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched

road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road.

Esterhazy, traveling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - Yet I got some pleasure

out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things

external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during

these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these. My heart

is full of so many things to say to you - ah - there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all - Cheer

up - remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours. The gods must send us the rest, what for us must and shall

be -

Your faithful LUDWIG.
