What Life Was Like in Europe's Romantic Era - Arthur Herman
Ad 1789-1848 (What Life Was Like)
KORTE INHOUD
" Woman revered Beethoven's genius ---but rejected his person; only one woman, it seems, returned his love.
The first indication of her existence would appear after his death, when friends found in a drawer the missive known as the 'Immortal Beloved' letter.
Never mailed, the letter was written in the summer of 1812, when Beethoven was staying at the Bohemian resort of Teplitz and the woman in Karlsbad.
Her love, be wrote, made him the 'happiest and unhappiest of men,' but union was impossible.
'Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks.... Can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine?'
The letter, written over a period of two days, was signed, 'over thine, ever mine, ever ours."
