The second letter from Ludwig van Beethoven to Antoine Brentano
Evening, Monday, July 6
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?
