18/20 Avril [18]87 Nos lettres se sont croisées! La vôtre me touche vivement et me fait en même temps beaucoup de peine, car je V[ou]s jure que je ne puis venir. Il y a des moments où mes nerfs sont dans un tel état, que l'isolement devient tout à fait obligatoire. De grâce, cher et très respecté ami, ne m'en veuillez pas. Je suis à tout jamais Votre fervent admirateur et dévoué ami. P. Tschaïkovsky |
18/20 April 1887 Our letters have crossed [1]! Yours is most touching, and at the same time, most upsetting, for I swear to you I cannot come! There are times when my nerves are in such a state that isolation becomes quite obligatory. For goodness sake, my dear and respected friend, don't be angry with me. I am forever your fervent admirer and devoted friend. P. Tchaikovsky |
