Letter to her brother
One minute I was the happiest man on earth,
the next the most unhappy one.
I loved your sister very much,
and (in a way) I still do.
Her withdrawal has left me in a complete shock.
The way she fell back on her old dependencies
has frightened me.
I know I was not perfect, and I regret I could
only offer her a modest life, in a place that she
had difficulties to adapt to.
I blame myself for all the shortcomings I have.
But it has been truly disappointing that we could
not solve our problems in a more mature way.
I drove her back to Paris, and that seems to be the end of it.
Despite everything, it was a pleasure to meet you,
and I am sorry to have known you for only such
a short period of time.
As a favor, I would like to ask you to send me the pictures
you took of the marriage.
It gives me a chance to keep you all alive in my memory.
