Edda
I want to write you these last, few lines. Edda, unfortunately, they are the last, yes, fate wants it this way; I hope they bring you some comfort in such sad misfortune.
Edda, I have been sentenced to death, they are killing me; however, they are killing my body, not the idea within me. I am dying, dying without any regret; on the contrary, I am proud to sacrifice my life for a cause, for a just cause, and I hope that my sacrifice is not in vain but instead helps in the great struggle. That cause which I have served until today, asking for nothing in return, always hoping that one day every sacrifice will be rewarded. For me, the best reward would have been to see the idea I served, even if for a short time, bloom; I did so faithfully.
Edda, fate separates us, fate kills our love, that love that I held for you and that was waiting for that day that would make us happy forever. Edda, always remember who has always loved you sincerely. Goodbye to everyone.
Goodbye Edda
