“But it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in the most humorous sadness.”
“Desiring always to be in mourning, he clothed himself with night.”
“Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.”
