“You turned into who you are? I did too”: the love letters of Hannah Arendt and Heinrich Blücher

From Hannah to Henrich

And when I met you, suddenly I was no longer afraid – after that first fright, which was just a childish fright pretending to be grown up. It still seems incredible to me that I managed to get both things, the “love of my life” and a oneness with my self. And yet, I only got the one thing when I got the other. But finally I also know what happiness is.

On Love and Tyranny, Ann Heberlein, pg 84

From Henrich to Hannah:

And then a letter from you arrives, making me crazy with joy. I’ve shown you what happiness is? I make you happy as you make me happy? After all, you are my happiness, so did I show you to yourself? You turned into who you are? I did too. I turned you, my little darling, from a girl into a woman? How marvellous – but how did I imagine that, because it was only through you that I really became a man.
