“I love the dark hours of my life”

by Ada on Thu Oct 29, 2015 7:57 pm

“I love the dark hours of my life
which deepen my senses;
in them, as in old letters, I find
my daily life already lived
and, like legends, distantly beyond.

From these hours comes the awareness that I
have room for a second life, timeless and wide.
And sometimes I’m like the tree, ripe and
murmuring, which fulfils that dream
above a grave, the one a boy in the past --
so that he could press it into his warm roots --
lost in sorrows and songs.”

~ Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Mark S. Burrows

“We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.”

Charlie Chaplain in The Great Dictator
