• Rest forever, tired heart.
  The final illusion has perished.
  The one we believed eternal is gone.
  Just like that. Out the door desire
  follows hope. Rest forever.
  Enough throbbing. Nothing deserves your attention
  nor is the earth worth a sigh.
  Bitterness and boredom is life,
  nothing else ever, and the world is mud.
  Quiet now. Despair for the last time.
  Fate gives us dying as a gift.
  Now turn from the hills, the ugly hidden power
  which rules for the common evil
  and the infinite vanity of it all.

  Giacomo Leopardi

  Tired, Heart, Fate
