The Immortal Beloved ( Love Letter)

The Immortal Beloved ( Love Letter)

The Immortal Beloved (German "Unsterbliche Geliebte") is the mysterious addressee of a love letter which composer Ludwig van Beethoven wrote on 6--7 July 1812 in Teplitz. The apparently unsent letter was found in the composer's estate after his death, after which it remained in the hands of Anton Schindler until his death, was subsequently willed to his sister, and was sold by her in 1880 to the Berlin State Library, where it remains today.The letter is written in pencil and consists of three parts. In its original wording. good Morning on the 7th of July-- already in bed my thoughts go out to You, my Immortal Beloved, here and there joyfully, then again sadly, awaiting from fate if it will hear us--I can only live wholly with you or not at all, yes, I have resolved to wander away from you for so long until I can fly into your arms, and send my soul, enwrapped in you, into the land of spirits--yes, unfortunately it must be--you will console yourself, all the more as you know of my faithfulness toward you, never will another possess my heart--never-never--O God why must (one) remove oneself from the one whom one so loves, and yet my life in V. is a wretched life--Your love has made me the happiest and unhappiest of men at the same time--at my age I would need a constant sameness of life--can that exist in our relationship!--Angel, I have just learned that the post leaves every day--and therefore I have to close so that You will receive the L. right away--be calm, only by calm consideration of our existence can we reach our aim to live together--be calm--love me-today--yesterday--what tearful longing for You-You-You-my life--my all--farewell--oh go on loving me--never misjudge the faithful heart of your beloved. forever thine forever mine forever us.

Funeral Blues - Four Weddings and a Funeral

Funeral Blues - Four Weddings and a Funeral

Funeral Blues W.H. AudenStop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods; For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Sams Speech from the LOTR The Twin Towers

Sams Speech from the LOTR The Twin Towers

Frodo : I can’t do this, Sam.Sam : I know. It’s all wrong By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

My thoughts on love extend deeper and deeper with each passing minute (Poetry)

My thoughts on love extend deeper and deeper with each passing minute (Poetry)

My thoughts on love extend deeper and deeper with each passing minute. I often wonder what it all means or where it all goes when we close our eyes for the long awaited sleep. Do we awake in another space and time? Do we remember those we’ve left behind or those who have left before us? Like breadcrumbs carefully placed between two hearts can we make our way back to one another? Before a story can be told it must first begin, that is what “Find Me” is: the beginning. If by chance we get lost in this life or the next...Find me, where I first found you! Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/thewanderingpaddy. Hosted on Acast.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)  (Poetry)

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43) (Poetry)

Elizabeth Barrett BrowningElizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 – 1861) was an English poet of the Victorian era. Born in County Durham, the eldest of 12 children, Elizabeth Barrett wrote poetry from about the age of six. At 15 she became ill, suffering intense head and spinal pain for the rest of her life. Later in life she also developed lung problems, possibly tuberculosis. Her first adult collection of poems was published in 1838 and she wrote prolifically between 1841 and 1844, producing poetry, translation and prose. She campaigned for the abolition of slavery and her work helped influence reform in the child labour legislation. Her prolific output made her a rival to Tennyson as a candidate for poet laureate on the death of Wordsworth. Elizabeth's volume Poems (1844) brought her great success, attracting the admiration of the writer Robert Browning. Their correspondence, courtship and marriage were carried out in secret, for fear of her father's disapproval. Following the wedding she was indeed disinherited by her father. The couple moved to Italy in 1846, where she would live for the rest of her life.How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/thewanderingpaddy.

I Sit And Think  By J R R Tolkien  (Poetry)

I Sit And Think By J R R Tolkien (Poetry)

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/thewanderingpaddy. Hosted on Acast.
