Everything, except boredom, bores me.
I’d like, without being calm, to calm down,
to take life every day
like a medicine—
one of those medicines everybody takes.
I aspired to so much, dreamed so much,
that so much so much made me into nothing
my hands grew cold
from just waiting for the enchantment
of the love that would warm them up at last.
..Cold, empty
hands.
~Fernando Pessoa, 6 September 1934
