"My beloved I cannot tell you when we are together all that is in my heart—but I want you to know of it. It seems to me as if I had only just now began really to love you. All that you have suffered—much of it through me—is so present to me. I have such a longing for you to have happiness—all the demands I have wished to make have obscured real love for a long time now. But now while the blindness of physical passion is less I see it all so clearly and the spiritual love is not obscured. I have never loved you with such an infinite tenderness as now—if only it would last! If only I could always think of you and not of my own happiness or unhappiness.—You give me so much that is divine my dearest—I treasure all that you say about spiritual things, and it becomes very living and growing in me. Do not fear any fading of my love—it has never been deeper than now—Goodnight my heart."
