If you’ve been exiled, why don’t you send me word of yourself? People do send word. Have you stopped loving me? No, for some reason I don’t believe that. It means you were exiled and died … Release me, then, I beg you, give me freedom to live, finally, to breathe the air! …’ Margarita Nikolaevna answered for him herself: ’You are free … am I holding you?’ Then she objected to him: ’No, what kind of answer is that? No, go from my memory, then I’ll be free … .Mikhail Bulgakov
About This Quote
Margarita Nikolaevna didn’t finish the sentence. It wasn’t until the next day that she wrote to him: “I’m not holding you.” This is the only complete letter he received from her. He did not receive another one after that, and it took many years for him to discover that she had died of typhoid fever at the age of 32.
