"Ever Thine. Ever Mine. Ever Ours."

I saw Sex in the City last night! It was such a great movie! I don't think you necessarily have to watch the show to love it. I came to the conclusion that Steve is my favorite guy on the show. I think he is just precious. Anyway, just thought I'd share! Such a good girl movie! Must-see.

I do have to say, though, that I am OBSESSED with Beethoven's letters to his "Immortal Beloved." You know, what I'm talking about. It is the letter that Big reads from Carrie's book toward the beginning of the movie.

Here is the one used in the movie.

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.

I liked it so much that I clearly looked it up when I got home. I found that this is only one of three letters Beethoven wrote to an unknown recipient. The letters were found in his desk after he passed away. The one above is the third letter of the group. Click here to see the other two.
