or we understand it and it is untranslatable as music.

After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me.
But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness.
On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield;
it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time
if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Altered Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: A Touch of Melancholy, 1893

I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night thinking I heard someone cry,
thinking I myself was weeping, and I felt my face and it was dry.

Then I looked at the window and thought: Why, yes, it's just the rain,
the rain, always the rain, and turned over, sadder still,
and fumbled about for my dripping sleep and tried to slip it back on.
― Ray Bradbury, Green Shadows, White Whale

And I rose
In rainy autumn
And walked abroad in a shower of all my days...
― Dylan Thomas, Collected Poems
