Letter 2

Evening, Monday, July 6


You are suffering, my dearest creature - only now have I
learned that letters must be posted very early in the morning on Mondays to Thursdays - the only days on which the mail-coach goes from here to K


You are suffering
Ah, wherever I am, there you are also - I will arrange it
with you and me that I can live with you


What a life!!! thus!!! without you - pursued by the goodness of mankind hither and thither - which I as little want to deserve as I deserve it


Humility of man towards man - it pains me - and when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I and what is He - whom we call the greatest and yet - herein lies the divine in man


I weep when I reflect that you will probably not receive the first report from me until Saturday


Much as you love me - I love you more
But do not ever conceal yourself from me - good night
As I am taking the baths I must go to bed
Oh God - so near! so far


Is not our love truly a heavenly structure, and also as firm as the vault of heaven
