Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

I address you with a heart full of sorrow and sadness,

A person tied to the world of sorrows can return to nature for inspiration. Nature provides solace to troubled hearts.

When I was a girl I would look out my bedroom window at the caterpillars; I envied them so much. No matter what they were before, no matter what happened to them, they could just hide away and turn into these beautiful creatures that could fly away completely untouched.

I'm lonely. And I'm lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic.

The sorrow that lay cold in her mother's heart... converted it into a tomb.
