beard," continues Hanslick.
In his essay on " Friendship," Emerson speaks of the
folly of forcing our personal presence on the friend we
love best, and of the faith that ideality brings. Some-
thing of this thought is shown in the letters of Madame
Schumann to Brahms, and in his to her.
Often for six months they would not meet, he doing his
work in his own way, she doing hers, but each ever
conscious of the life and love of the other feeding on
the ideal writing or not writing, but glorying in each
other's triumphs lives linked first by the love of a
third person, cemented by dire calamity, and then
fused by a oneness of hope and aspiration.
Brahms' nature was too decidedly masculine, that is to
say, one-sided, to exist without the love of woman;
Clara Schumann, gentle, generous, motherly, plastic,
needed Johannes no less than he needed her.
When Clara's spirit passed away, in May, Eighteen
Hundred Ninety-six, Brahms attended her funeral at
Frankfort. Hero that he was in body and spirit, the
shock unnerved him. No rebound came every bodily
faculty seemed to have lost its buoyancy. The doctors
tried to cheer him by telling him that he had no organic
ailment, and that twenty years of life and work were
356
JOHANNES BRAHMS
before him. He knew better, and told them so. Men do
not live any longer than they wish to. " Shall I live to
see the anniversary of her death ? " asked Brahms of the
doctor in March, Eighteen Hundred Ninety-seven.
" Oh, undoubtedly you can live many years if you
only will to," was the answer. Three weeks later on
April Third Max Kalbrech telegraphed to Widmann,
this message, " Brahms fell asleep early this morning."
