IMMORTAL BELOVED ~ ‘Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, and 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 – never. ‘Oh continue to love me; never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours’ ~ The Third Romantic Letter from Ludwig van Beethoven.
