In an old family album Ever again you return, Melancholy, O meekness of the solitary soul. A golden day glows and expires. Humbly the patient man surrenders to pain Ringing with melodious sound and soft madness. Look! There's the twilight. Night returns once more and a mortal thing laments And another suffers in sympathy. Shuddering under autumn stars Yearly the head is bowed deeper.- Georg Trakl (1887-1914) . Georg Trakl
About This Quote

The most beautiful thing in life is to see how a human being can flourish and grow when they are growing and flourishing. Even though I am not able to see them grow, I can see the good things that they have. The way that the stars shine, the way that the sun shines, I can see what they are doing, but I don't get to see them. However, even though I don't get to see them, I can still watch them grow. That is what gives me happiness.
