This is the final letter from Beethoven to Antonie before they departed never to meet again.
Good morning, on July 7
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
