Since I am generaly interested in words and in love I think that love letters, which combine both my passions, are my thing.So I looked up a little and I found that this book is in fact unreal.Yet I will try to find those letters(they are real) and from now on every day I will post some of those letters-only those I personally like.
While reading I couldn't help but wonder why don't we write letters anymore?Don't get me wrong , I am not some anti E-mail person, in fact I really enjoy all kinds of "online" communication.But why have we excluded letters from our lives?
When I was six I suffered over the fact that my aunt- one of the most precious people in my life- moved to another city.In order to heal my pain (since she is a doctor) she started writting me letters.Every time I received one it was a day of joy.She thought me something very important- we should keep the feeling of a person inside our hearts and minds and they can never be too far away.
Letters are something unique.It is not the word you read, it is the feeling you get when you know that the person you love has spared his time, sat down and wrote it.Knowing he or she touched the same piece of paper you hold right now.It may seem like a small thing, but even 10 minutes of reading a letter bring you in a different world. A better one.World filled with joy and love.I don't know why we do not write letters anymore.But I think we should start.
So enough of me, here is the first letter-Ludwig van Bethoven.Enjoy!
Love letter 1
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.
