No puedo soportar mÃ¡s en silencio. Debo hablar con usted po

No puedo soportar mÃ¡s en silencio. Debo hablar con usted por cualquier medio a mi alcance. Me desgarra usted el alma. Estoy entre la agonÃa y la esperanza. No me diga que es demasiado tarde, que tan preciosos sentimientos han desaparecido para siempre. Me ofrezco a usted nuevamente con un corazÃ³n que es aÃºn mÃ¡s suyo que cuando casi lo destrozÃ³ hace ocho aÃ±os y medio. No se atreva a decir que el hombre olvida mÃ¡s prontamente que la mujer, que su amor muere antes. No he amado a nadie mÃ¡s que a usted. Puedo haber sido injusto, dÃ©bil y rencoroso, pero jamÃ¡s inconsciente. SÃ³lo por usted he venido a Bath; sÃ³lo por usted pienso y proyecto. Â¿No se ha dado cuenta? Â¿No ha interpretado mis deseos? No hubiera esperado estos diez dÃas de haber podido leer sus sentimientos como debe usted haber leÃdo los mÃos. Apenas puedo escribir. A cada instante escucho algo que me domina. Baja usted la voz, pero puedo percibir los tonos de esa voz cuando se pierde entre otras. Â¡BuenÃsima, excelente criatura! No nos hace usted en verdad justicia. Crea que tambiÃ©n hay verdadero afecto y constancia entre los hombres. Crea usted que estas dos cosas tienen todo el fervor de F. W.

You were right to come to see a dying man. It is right that these moments should have witnesses. Everyone has his dream; I would like to live till dawn, but I know I have less than three hours left. It will be night, but no matter. Dying is simple. It does not take daylight. So be it: I will die by starlight
