expands the summer-night horizon.
Both joy and sorrow
swell in the dew's magnifying glass.
Without really knowing,
we divine; our life has a sister ship,
following quietly another route.
While the sun blazes behind the islands. "
Tomas Transtromer
for our happiness
is often close
at hand,
if we knew
but how to
seek for it. "
