“But I wasn't crying because I was sad. I guess I was crying because we had nowhere else to go, no choice but to go on living in this world. Crying because we had no other world to choose, and crying at everything before us, everything around us.”

“though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens”
― E.E. Cummings, E.E. Cummings: Complete Poems 1904-1962
