Beautiful Sadness

Quote: "Delicious tears! The heart's own dew." Letitia Elizabeth Landon. Beautiful Sadness As morn births bold new welcoming relief in dawn's deepest gasping of wonderment Life thrives upon true love, not morbid grief for beauty's depths are purest contentment. Whether tears are falling from joy or pains heart and soul together, sweet as morn's dew with happiness Life's serenity gains magnificent fruits of treasure come due! True and so delicious such worthy meals rewarding our fortitude, hopes and dreams within such bliss sweetest pleasure we feel flows forth as clearest waters in cool streams! When mortal heart, true master will obey Faithfulness is born, that will never stray!

Well constructed ode to poets and poetry. Beauty walks this earth in many forms, and can be found in the most unlikely places. You've nailed this one.

The depth of beauty! I love it. P.S.: But she is an immeasurable form. When beauty comes I wonder where from)
