But my sadness is comforting
Because it's right and natural
And because it's what the soul should feel
When it already thinks it exists
And the hand pick flowers
And the soul takes no notice. (Fernando Pessoa)

But my sadness is comforting Because it's right and natural And because it's what the soul should feel When it already thinks it exists And the hand pick flowers And the soul takes no notice.
