quotations about sorrow
Love sorrow. She is yours now, and you must take care of what has been given. Brush her hair, help her into her little coat, hold her hand, especially when crossing a street. For, think, what if you should lose her? Then you would be sorrow yourself; her drawn face, her sleeplessness would be yours. Take care, touch her forehead that she feel herself not so utterly alone.

My old sorrow wakes and cries.

The shadows I cast
Follow me down

Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow
The demons of my own design

All of the good times that I've had.
