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
