48.
Miss Miri
(June 29th, 1965)
Do not say:
life is one big party.
It would be foolish, vulgar.
Above all, don't say:
it is an endless unhappiness
it would be evidence of poor strength,
which immediately disappears.
But do laugh,
like branches shaking
in spring.
Do cry,
like wind
floating on the beach.
Enjoy all pleasures
and suffer all harms,
and say: "that's already a lot,
it's the shadow of a
dream"
