Sydney Smith: Never Give Way to Melancholy
by Chris on Feb.17, 2010, under psychoanalysis, psychology
Never give way to melancholy. Nothing encroaches more. I fight against it vigorously. One great remedy is, to take short views of life. Are you happy now ? Are you likely to remain so till tomorrow or next month, or next year ? Then why destroy present happiness by a distant misery which may never come at all, or you may never live to see ? For every substantial grief has twenty shadows, and many of them shadows of your own making.
Sydney Smith

Wet Evening in April
by Chris on Apr.17, 2009, under poetry
The birds sang in the wet trees
And as I listened to them it was a hundred years from now
And I was dead and someone else was listening to them.
But I was glad I had recorded for him
The melancholy.
Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967)
Below: Statue of Patrick Kavanagh, Grand Canal, Dublin (April 2009)
