    C. JoyBell C.
    “You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.”

    Paul Verlaine
    “Chanson d’automne

    Les sanglots longs
    Des violons
    De l’automne
    Blessent mon coeur
    D’une langueur
    Monotone.

    Tout suffocant
    Et blême, quand
    Sonne l’heure,

    Je me souviens
    Des jours anciens
    Et je pleure ;

    Et je m’en vais
    Au vent mauvais
    Qui m’emporte
    Deçà, delà,
    Pareil à la
    Feuille morte.”

    Paul Verlaine
    “Ariette III

    Il pleure dans mon coeur
    Comme il pleut sur la ville ;
    Quelle est cette langueur
    Qui pénètre mon coeur ?

    Ô bruit doux de la pluie
    Par terre et sur les toits !
    Pour un coeur qui s'ennuie,
    Ô le chant de la pluie !

    Il pleure sans raison
    Dans ce coeur qui s'écoeure.
    Quoi ! nulle trahison ?
    Ce deuil est sans raison.

    C'est bien la pire peine
    De ne savoir pourquoi
    Sans amour et sans haine
    Mon coeur a tant de peine !”

    Victor Hugo
    “Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
    Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
    J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
    Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.

    Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
    Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
    Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
    Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.

    Je ne regarderai ni l'or du soir qui tombe,
    Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
    Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
    Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.”
    ― Victor Hugo, Les Contemplations
