A letter for you, my Lenotchka



My sweet Elena,
as you wrote in your mail that you were trying to improve your English, I allow myself to answer in Shakespearian language. English is a naturally musical language, isn't it ?
I'm so happy to know that you found your lover ! Francesco is a lovely name. I like the french equivalent - that is to say "François" - but to me, "Francesco", it's even more beautiful. I can easily understand that you're distraught because of the separation. But be patient, you will meet again very very soon, I'm sure. For my part, I discovered the place you talk about two years ago, and I found it amazing. I spent three weeks there, I saw its sumptuous palaces, the square of ******, and I fell in love with all this munificience, this marble, which contains in its cold beauty so much science... and so many bloody and dark stories of love.
You're fond of Klimt ? So am I ! Your idea of creating a duo with Francesco from "The Kiss" is wonderful. I will not be able to see the Dance America Festival, I'm afraid, but could so you send me a video ?
My blank exams begin on Tuesday, so I'm working and working and working. They last two weeks but after that, I'm very free and I'll try to spend a week-end in **** where I will be delighted to see you.
You say that politics is not very important. I understand. You're a dancer, you're a carefree girl who lives for art. Nevertheless, I'm worried about french culture. S*** doesn't want to finance too many things like art, literature, music, exhibitions and so on. French culture is likely to die, I'm afraid.
Guillaume sat his exams last week (Polytechnique and l'Ecole des Mines), we hope everything will be all right for him.
I'm so glad to see that you're making your dreams become true ! I'm so proud of you. But I have always knew that what you're living today would come. You're so talented and so hard-working ! All my congratulations for your Prize, Elena darling.
I hope to see you very very soon. I never forget you, you're always in my mind. From Paris, I keep a watchful eye on you.
Hugs and kisses,
Your F.
