Hmm... I wish I knew whether we met with him. I know that he wrote poems, his feelings are very close to mine.
Your have a great name...I am uncertain about the spellings, but Beethoven have that piece Fur Elise (I used to think of it as Fleur de Lyse (yes I had a Bourbon French life))...the Cure call one of their songs, in reference I suppose as RB. Smith's sister is classically trained, For Elise...
Actually, I think my Russian past life was in the era of Beethoven, maybe I traveled to Vienna. Having been Russian may have prepared me to being born in the USA, my Hindu Indian life, and casualty lives in WWI and WWII may have been aspects that made adjusting difficult.
Also, Russian people who come here seem to fit in pretty well after some effort, maybe with in one generation. To me Russians seem like OK Americans, just a little different for excitement sake!
If you delete stuff, Forum Hosts, can you save some of the above...
Actually "the cure" tune is called ...a letter to...

A Letter To Elise
------The Cure
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away
The way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...
So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
At all...
