Begotten in the dead of night, You gleamed like silver in the distance. Your tortured soul became The fabric of frosty earth.

He's looking up at the stars.

"Stars, stars,

Why am I so sad?"

He gazes up at the stars.

"Stars, stars,

Where does this yearning come from?"

The stars tell everything.

Everything's told by the stars.

Alexander Blok, from "Night, The City Has Simmered Down" wr. c. 1906

You’re sick. Live more simply. You are a poet, a senseless singing being; however, you are fated to express the thoughts of others. They just don’t know how to state everything that you say. Woe to you, if you prompt the people with their own secret, crazy thoughts.
