On Love Letters of Great Men

"I'm looking for love.Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love." - Carrie

I got one of the best gifts ever today, from a very good friend of mine. It was a book titled "Love Letters of Great Men", a book that never existed until now and was inspired by the scene in Sex and the City the movie, where Carrie read to Mr Big the love letters from Napoleon, and Ludwig Bethoven.

I love the books. I love what it represents, and the timing couldn't be more perfect

Especially, I love what the notes said to me:

"To the girl who loves the story so much
May she find it
Love.
Real, ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other
An abso-fucking-lutely love
and hope she finds that great man with all of the above, and even more"

and my favourite letter - altho the book wrote it somewhat not exactly the same as below (verbatim wise)

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"
-Beethoven

Dedicated to you, that special someone out there.
