Credinţa zugrăveşte icoanele-n biserici -
Şi-n sufletu-mi pusese poveştile-i feerici,
Dar de-ale vieţii valuri, de al furtunii pas
Abia conture triste şi umbre-au mai rămas.
În van mai caut lumea-mi în obositul creier,
Căci răguşit, tomnatec, vrăjeşte trist un greier;
Pe inima-mi pustie zadarnic mâna-mi ţiu,
Ea bate ca şi cariul încet într-un sicriu.
Şi când gândesc la viaţa-mi, îmi pare că ea cură
Încet repovestită de o străină gură,
Ca şi când n-ar fi viaţa-mi, ca şi când n-aş fi fost.
Cine-i acel ce-mi spune povestea pe de rost
De-mi ţin la el urechea - şi râd de câte-ascult
Ca de dureri străine?... Parc-am murit de mult.

He really had experienced every tiniest increment of time in the four decades since then, and yet here he was surprised to be suddenly old and crippled. Turned out the rope didn't care if you noticed every daisy on the path to the gallows.

Kristin hatte ihre Wahl an einem grauen Montagmorgen getroffen. Sie war vielleicht aufgewacht, erschöpft von dem neuen Tag, der noch nicht einmal richtig angebrochen war, hatte aus dem Fenster gesehen und sich entschlossen, dass es nun genug sei. Welche Gedanken sie sich gemacht hatte, wusste Harry nicht. Die menschliche Seele war ein tiefer, dunkler Wald, und alle Entscheidungen trifft man allein.

At that moment, beauty itself struck me as a kind of painful melancholy.

I preach that odd defiant melancholy that sees the dreadful loneliness of the human soul and the pitiful disaster of human life as ever redeemable and redeemed by compassion, friendship and love.

I sometimes think about old tombs and weeds
That interwreathe among the bones of kings
With cold and poisonous berry and black flower:
Or ruminate upon the skulls of steeds
Frailer than shells and on those luminous wings -
The shoulder blades of Princes of fled power,
Which now the unrecorded sandstorms grind
Into so wraith-like a translucency
Of tissue-thin and aqueous bone

Lincoln's story confounds those who see depression as a collection of symptoms to be eliminated. But it resonates with those who see suffering as a potential catalyst of emotional growth. "What man actually needs," the psychiatrist Victor Frankl argued,"is not a tension-less state but rather the striving and struggling of a worthwhile goal." Many believe that psychological health comes with the relief of distress. But Frankl proposed that all people-- and particularly those under some emotional weight-- need a purpose that will both draw on their talents and transcend their lives. For Lincoln, this sense of purpose was indeed the key that unlocked the gates of a mental prison. This doesn't mean his suffering went away. In fact, as his life became richer and more satisfying, his melancholy exerted a stronger pull. He now responded to that pull by tying it to his newly defined sense of purpose. From a place of trouble, he looked for meaning. He looked at imperfection and sought redemption.

His jaw was slack and his mouth open, and he wondered if perhaps he would drown eventually; drowned by the falling rain.
