A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
Sadness is a very interesting idea, this idea of sadness being some kind of default setting that artists will go into. And then I started thinking about this idea of sadness and happiness, and the idea that sadness is very loud, and happiness is quiet.
悲伤是一个非常有趣的想法,悲伤是艺术家们的一种默认设置。然后我开始思考悲伤和快乐的概念,悲伤是很大声的,而快乐是安静的。

Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude, And in the calmest and most stillest night, With all appliances and means to boot, Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

If I were to sum up the negative reactions to my work, I think there are two primary causes: one is that if there is discourse about anxiety it is necessarily going to induce anxiety. It will represent a return of the repressed for a great many people.

It's designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains comes, it stops, and leaves you to face the fall alone.

Enlarge my life with multitude of days, In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays; Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know, That life protracted is protracted woe. Time hovers o’er, impatient to destroy, And shuts up all the passages of joy.
求你使我一生的年日,无论是健康的年日,是疾病的年日,都广加增我的寿数。对自己隐藏自己的状态,并回避知道,生命的延长是延长的悲哀。时间一晃而过,迫不及待地要毁灭一切,关闭了所有欢乐的通道。
