His presence is shocking for everyone. It exposes one of the greatest mysteries there is. For you . . . I nonetheless hope you were able to scale the wall that long separations create. He needs this intimacy even more than you do—he who keeps his emotions secret, emotions that are so strong he hides them! All my affection, I send you my love and my thoughts and am your Nadia P.S.

Vous êtes si souvent dans mes pensées. Oui, c’est très dur de voir le temps marque un être cher, et je comprends votre émotion en revoyant votre Père, sa présence est bouleversante pour tous, elle fait toucher du doigt un des plus grands mystères que soit.

I am so shaken up. I spent Sunday afternoon with your Father— surprising strength, enthusiasm and tenderness. The worry he creates for himself, for Denise, for you, for Kitty. Perhaps he seems to remain silent, but he lives with those who are his life and every detail remains engraved—all hidden in a seemingly contradictory appearance, but nevertheless rooted within. His impressions, his trip, this return to his childhood, his sense of modesty, his way of saying nothing but what he wants to, and how the words must veil or divulge. It is true, he walks with difficulty, it’s the only time where one can see the signs of the shocks he has undergone. His spirit is young, alive, innovative, mobile, and what clairvoyance, what conviction as well, which sometimes creates incontrollable, spontaneous reactions. Unfortunately, I must hurry, I can spare anything but time, but I am with you, sharing in your hopes, your expectations, knowing the weight of your intense patience. Give Denise my love and know, both of you, that my thoughts never leave you. Thank you again. Yours, NB � * * * Boulanger à Théodore Strawinsky [sans date] [1962] Cher Théodore, Pardon de ne pas vous avoir écrit encore. Suis si bousculée.

Peut-être semble-t-il rester silencieux mais il vit avec ceux qui sont sa vie et chaque détail resté gravé. Tout cela caché, en apparence contradictoire, et pourtant si enraciné. Ses impressions, son voyage, ce retour à son enfance, sa pudeur, son art de ne dire que ce qu’il veut, et comment les termes doivent voiler ou découvrir. Il est vrai, il marche mal, c’est le seul moment où l’on voit des signes de chocs qu’il a subis, l’esprit est jeune, vif, novateur, en mouvement, et quelle clairvoyance, quelle conviction aussi qui crée parfois des réactions d’une spontanéité incontrôlables. Hélas il faut aller vite, je ne dispose de rien comme temps mais suis avec vous partageant vos espoirs, votre attente, sachant le poids de cette patience si longue !

But once again I find myself near you in Hollywood—but also in Paris—I believe I’m sharing some of your views toward the Past, some of your silence in the Present, and your view of the new possibilities the material offers you and your mind. I don’t dare tell you what leads me always to this struggle before you, one that has no beginning and no end. In it I see your pain, your wounds, your aspirations, and I repeat, from the bottom of my heart, “May Peace be with you.” Your burden is heavy if it brings with it light, and I believe I feel and understand. I love you so much. I send you all my love, I say to you thank you, and I hear you wherever you may be, always there, Your Nadia B � * * * Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Bureau New-York : Fontainebleau Schools, 122 East 58 St. N.Y. 22 Conservatoire de musique – Ecole des beaux-arts Palais de Fontainebleau – Le Directeur du Conservatoire 18 juin 1962 Très cher Igor, Bientôt cet anniversaire que le monde entier célèbre et ne saurait assez célébrer. Mais, moi, je me retrouve, près de vous, à Hollywood—mais aussi à Paris— je crois partager certains de vos regards vers le Passé, certaines de vos silences dans le Présent, et votre perception de la nouvelle possibilité que vous offre la matière, et votre esprit. Je n’ose vous dire ce qui m’ément[sic] toujours devant cette lutte avec vous-même qui n’a commencement ni fin. J’y vois aussi vos peines, vos blessures, vos aspirations—et je vous redis, du plus profond de mon cœur, « que la Paix soit avec vous ». Votre fardeau est lourd, s’il est porteur de lumière, et je crois sentir, et comprendre. Je vous aime tant. Je vous embrasse, je vous dis merci, et je vous entends où que vous soyez, toujours là, Votre, Nadia B � 1962 Author: Nadia Boulanger Denise Strawinsky Nadia Location: Fontainebleau Recipient: Denise Stravinsky
