Very dear Igor,
Soon will be the birthday the entire world celebrates yet does not know how to celebrate enough.
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

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

Boulanger to Denise Stravinsky
February 18, 1962
Dear Denise,
Without news for a long time, but I feel close [to you] and my thoughts are always with you. I do
hope that you are suffering less. But it has been so long—it’s a burden to be so patient.
I saw your father-in-law upon his return from Moscow, walking with a bit of difficulty, but with
an extraordinary presence—so preoccupied by you, by you all.
The recording of the Flood is impressive and allows for an understanding of the grandeur of the
work. Regarding A Sermon, Narration, Prayer [sic], which I heard on the radio, it is profoundly
moving. And if mastering these ever-new means is stupefying, the emotion that emanates from
this sublime work is inexpressible. What a supreme force of thought and feeling —which
[others] want to ignore!
Hug one another [for me] and know I am your,
Nadia B.
P.S. Not yet been able to write to Kitty. Going to do it one of these days I hope!

Chère Denise,
Sans nouvelles depuis longtemps, je me sens pourtant proche et ma pensée ne vous quitte
pas. Je veux espérer que vous souffrez moins. Mais c’est si long—et une telle patience si
lourde.
Vu votre beau-père à son retour de Moscou, marchant avec un peu de difficulté, mais
d’une présence extraordinaire—si préoccupé de vous de vous tous.
Le disque du Flood est impressionnant et permet de comprendre la grandeur de l’œuvre.
Quant à celui de Sermon, Narration Prayer[sic], entendu à la radio, il est profondément
émouvant. Et si la maîtrise de moyens toujours nouveaux est stupéfiante, l’émotion qui se
dégage de cette œuvre sublime, elle est indicible.
Quelle force suprême de la pensée et de la sensibilité—ce que l’on veut ignorer !
Embrassez-vous les uns les autres et sachez-moi votre.
Nadia B.
P.S. N’ai pas encore pu écrire à Kitty. Vais le faire ces jours-ci j’espère !
