Existence had no use. It was without end or reason. The most beautfiul things in it, a flower or a song, as well as the most compelling, a desire or a thought, were pointless. So great a sorrow. And I knew that the only rest from my anxietyâ€”for I had been trembling even in infancyâ€”lay in acknowledging and absorbing this sadness.”
