THE LAST LOVE LETTER OF TCHAIKOVSKY*

 My angel,  life of my life

Fate would never allow me to meet thee

Only in thy letters to me

Do I feel the touch of love’s ecstasy.


Would but that upon thy sweet face

I would  just once behold

All my sixth symphonies I would gladly exchange

In love’s name and in its wondrous beauty untold.


Here with all my rapturous kisses

I send thee the music of ‘Love’s Sorrow’ 

Every note swims in the sea of my restless heart

None would such grievous pain of mine ever know.


Let history judge

All that is between thee and me

Even the deluge that drowns the whole world

Would never obliterate every melody I dedicate to thee.


• Tchaikovsky’s benefactress was Madame Von Meck  (Nadezhda) who exchanged 260 love- letters (1876—1887)with him and endowed him with a regular income on the understanding that they should never meet.

Her late  husband was a millionaire whose fortune was derived from  his railway business.

Finally, she broke up the relationship leaving the composer in complete  devastation.

This is one of the most poignant love-stories of all time.

và những đêm tối

những thói quen tự tạo, tự tạo sáng tạo

thói quen chèn thói quen

thói quen đưa những thói quen vào lãng quên

đưa những lãng quên đến trân trọng mới

Những trân trọng mới làm ta mới

ta mới, làm nên một vài sáng tạo

Ta mới, ngày không đổi, giờ cũng không đổi
