Sorrow

                                          Understanding of sorrow is an explosion,

                                          A revolt, a tremendous discontent in everything.

                                          To understand death and sorrow,

                                          One must have a burning urge, an intensity,

                                          And face the fact.

                                          Unless you can play, you will never find out.

                                          If you don’t know how to smile,

                                          Not only with your lips but with your whole being,

                                          With your eyes, your mind, your heart,

                                          Then you don’t know what it is to be simple

                                          And take delight in the common things of life.
