The Anatomy of Meloncholy
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain....
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain....
from : The Day is Done,
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

ReplyDeleteits beautiful zof... love it...
when the words are simple and the emotions so complex,and it seems like they came so easy, its just that much harder to understand and comprehend...
i got what you're saying immediately... i could feel it... and yet the 'exactness' of the words will take a bit to sink in...
