the woolly dog

The feelings that hurt the most, the emotions that sting most,

are those that are absurd;

the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible;

nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been;

regret over not being someone else;

dissatisfaction with the world's existence.

All these half-tones of the soul's consciousness create in us a painful landscape,

an eternal sunset of what we are.
