Strawinsky 25 Fbg St. Honor. Sancellemoz, France Haute Savoie March 4, 1939 Oh . . . how I weep for you—I am so sad! I knew all too well that you were living in increasing anguish, but I wanted to hope, at all costs . . . Dear Catherine, she was here, so full of life, and now she, too, is gone. It is better, of course, for those who have passed, but how can we bear their absence? I can only imagine the state you are in, yet perhaps Catherine has given you strength that will continue to support you beyond her passing. This is what happened to me with my sweet Lili who, knowing she was dying, would often speak to me about this future in which I would have to live without her. And when I wanted to stop her, she would tell me: “You will love, afterward, to think back to when we spoke of this time when I would be far away, and yet always remain with you.” In several days it will be twenty-one years since she died, and the wound remains the same, yet so does the deep feeling of the constant presence of the child who was and remains an example to me. May God give you His light, His peace in the face of this dreadful new ordeal that has deprived you of someone who was, without a doubt, the light of your life. May God allow your aching heart to turn toward Him, and to wait for your own time when you will enter into eternity and finally find rest yourself. But may He also grant you the certainty that we need you, and that this certainty gives us the strength to complete your work despite everything. When we are all gone, this work will remain to grant unto those who are worthy a nourishment of the spirit and heart without which everything would be intolerable. I know that I know nothing, but this taste of death, I have tasted it—and taste it still on my tongue since all of mine have passed away. But carrying on is the only way to deserve one day attaining that same peace. Can you understand—or even tolerate this idea? Can you even think about anything but your pain? I doubt it is possible, because I know. If you would allow it, I would take you in my arms like a sister who loves you tenderly and hold you. I am so sad to be far away. Thinking of Milène Mika and Catherine, I cherish you more than ever, and ask you to believe in my deepest affection for you. �With all my heart, Nadia [P.S.] Give your mother and the children a kiss for me. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gerry's Landing, Cambridge Monsieur I. Strawinsky 25 Fbg St. Honor. Sancellemoz, France Mte Savoie 4 mars 1939 Que je vous pleurât [sic]—et que je suis triste! Je sentais bien que vous viviez dans une grandissante angoisse, mais je voulais espérer, à tout prix. Chère Catherine, elle est là, si vivante, et la voilà, elle aussi, partie. C’est mieux, sans doute, pour ceux qui partent, mais nous, comment pouvons-nous supporter leur absence ? Je devine l’état dans lequel vous êtes, peut-être pourtant Catherine vous a-t-elle donné des forces, vous aident[sic] encore au-delà de la vie. C’est ce qui m’est arrivé avec ma petite Lili qui, si souvent se sachant perdue, me parlait de cet avenir que je devais vivre sans elle. Et quand je voulais l’arrêter, elle me disait : « Tu aimeras, après, à penser que nous avons parlé de ce temps où je serai loin, et pourtant avec toi, toujours. » Dans quelques jours, 21 ans qu’elle est morte, et la blessure est demeurée la même, et aussi le profond sentiment de la présence constante de l’enfant qui a été et reste l’exemple. Que Dieu vous apporte sa lumière, sa paix dans l’affreuse nouvelle épreuve qui vous prive de ce qui a sans doute été la lumière de votre vie. Que Dieu permette à votre cœur déchiré de se tourner vers lui et d’attendre l’heure où à votre tour vous entrerez dans l’éternité et atteindrez enfin le repos. Mais qu’Il vous donne aussi la certitude que nous avons besoin de vous, et que cette certitude vous donne la force d’achever malgré tout votre œuvre. Quand nous serons tous partis, elle demeurera, pour donner aux hommes qui en sont dignes, cette nourriture de l’esprit et du cœur sans laquelle tout serait intolérable. Je sais, je ne sais rien, mais ce goût de la mort, je l’ai eu—et l’ai encore dans la bouche, depuis que tous les miens se sont endormis. Mais, marcher encore, est le seul moyen de mériter d’atteindre un jour leur paix. Pouvez-vous entendre—ou même supporter cette idée ? Pouvez-vous marcher autre chose que votre douleur ? J’en doute, parce que je sais. Vous permettez, je vous prends dans mes bras, et comme une sœur qui vous aime tendrement, je vous embrasse, si triste d’être loin. Dans la pensée de Milène Mika, de Catherine, je vous cheris [sic] plus que jamais, et vous demande de croire au plus profond attachement que je puisse avoir.

It was necessary that your union take this definitive form, and I know that it’s what Catherine would have wanted. I seem far away, but I followed with a profound joy your winter, your activity, and its great results. There are those who will never understand, there are those for whom you have provided guidance. And, by being yourself, you illuminate for them the past and guide their future. It was so beautiful, so good, and so necessary that you gave this concert. We were, for example, overwhelmed by Preger’s case who, having wanted at all costs to serve, has fallen ill, both lungs to be reopened after several weeks in the barracks. He must spend a year in a sanatorium, and without your help, we could not insure him. Mrs. Loudon is the president of our small committee. No meetings, no publicity, but true, active support. We have given concerts to armies with orchestras made up of professional musicians brought together through the officers’ efforts, an admirable initiative that did so much good for those who command so humanely, as well as for those who performed. All this said too hastily, but I haven’t a minute. With great fondness for Vera and you, I am, with all my heart, your Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu 5 avril 1940 Cher Igor, Où vous rejoindra ce mot—je ne sais, mais je voudrais que vous sachiez que je suis de tout cœur avec vous deux. Il fallait que votre union prit cette forme définitive, et je sais que c’est bien ainsi que l’aurait désiré Catherine. Je suis loin en apparence, mais j’ai suivi votre hiver, votre activité, et leur [sic] résultats si grands, avec une profonde joie. Il y a ceux qui ne comprendront jamais, il y a ceux pour lesquels vous avez fixé l’orientation. Et, en étant vous-même, vous éclairez pour eux le passé et construisez leur avenir. Que vous ayez donné ce concert est si beau, si bien, et si nécessaire. Nous étions par exemple, bouleversés par le cas de Preger qui, ayant voulu coûte que coûte servir, est tombé malade, les deux poumons rouverts, après quelques semaines de caserne. Il lui faut un an de sanatorium, sans vous, nous ne pourions [sic] pas les lui assurer. C’est Madame Loudon qui est présidente de notre petit comité. Pas de réunions, pas de publicité, mais un vrai soutien, actif. Nous avons donné des concerts aux armées avec les orchestres formés de musiciens professionnels réunis par le soin des officiers, admirable initiative qui crée un tel bien entre ceux qui commandent si humainement, et ceux qui exécutent. Tout cela dit bien hâtivement, mais je n’ai pas une minute.

He is still waiting impatiently for Mrs. Bliss’s letter, which has not yet arrived. I am very happy to be able to give you better news about my father-in-law today. I would not hide from you that, after arriving here, following the painful misfortunes we have had, we were a bit frightened to learn of his illness, because the doctor has not hidden from us that he foresaw the possibility of an operation (either for a pneumothorax or a more serious procedure) if he did not see rapid progress and then just today (we go to the clinic every week for X-rays). Today, the doctor saw that the sick lung has cleared up and that he has gained 1.2 kg since our arrival here, which is an excellent sign. It was hugely important for the doctor to see his natural resistance and defenses. All of this has given us great confidence and allowed us to consider the future with greater clarity. My father-in-law thus thinks he will be able to do his American tour, leaving here in the first half of January. There is one point that needs clarifying. I have therefore written to Dushkin asking him to find out what has become of the Copley agency that took over my father-in-law’s interests. Dear Mademoiselle, my father-in-law would like to write you personally to tell you again how grateful he was for all you have done, but he spends these days in bed, resting as much as possible. One day soon, when he is able to resume his normal work, he will write to you. With deepest and most respectful friendship, Denise Strawinsky. � Denise Strawinsky à Boulanger Sancellemoz Haute Savoie jeudi 6 avril 1939 Chère Mademoiselle, Mon beau-père vous remercie beaucoup pour votre lettre du 15 mars, et vous pouvez penser combien il a été heureux à la nouvelle que tout est fait au sujet de la Symphonie et il vous remercie encore très chaleureusement de toute la peine que vous avez prise et de tout le cœur que vous y avez mis. Il attend avec beaucoup d’impatience la lettre promise de madame Bliss qui n’est toujours pas arrivée.

Tout ceci nous a donné une grande confiance et nous a permis d’envisager avec plus de carté [sic] l’avenir.

I just finished my courses at the Convent, and . . . I don’t have a choice. It is nothing, and it is not important. But an old tired heart does not bear it—in addition to the daily effort, the remorse—and I cannot get used to the idea of having left them there, suffering, oh what suffering. I know that certain tasks can only be accomplished this way, and I have the dearest friends here like you couldn’t imagine—the most faithful. I have understood the value of these weeks at the Convent, the work demands all of my attention—but . . . something stronger than all that haunts my thoughts: “You left everything.” [Even] if I were to face hardship here, everything is easy—and despite all that I have, my conscience is troubled and that is greater than any reason, even the serious, concrete [ones], that I have to pursue my work here. And I know this is all that one can do. See you soon, I hope. We will arrange something, because we must settle these parts once and for all (if that is even imaginable!). You told me nothing of Milène, of Sviétik, but I guess there is the world between you, and Théodore, harder again for you than for him!
