“The moon is high up in the sky and it’s spring.
I think of you and within myself I’m complete.

A light breeze comes to me from across the hazy fields.
I think of you and whisper your name. I’m not I: I’m happy.”
― Fernando Pessoa, A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems

“With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.”
― Oscar Wilde
