Ero avvolta nella pelliccia
nera, nella pelliccia bianca
e tu mi svolgevi
e in una luce d’oro
poi m’incoronasti,
mentre fuori dardi di neve
diagonali battevano alla porta.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox: "Ridi e il mondo riderà con te. Piangi, e piangerai da solo..."
Ridi e il mondo riderà con te.
Piangi, e piangerai da solo.
Poiché il vecchio mondo triste deve prendere
in prestito la sua allegria,
ma ha già abbastanza guai per conto suo.
Canta, e le colline ti risponderanno.

Hugues Merle | The Lunatic of Etretat, 1871
"The Lunatic of Etretat" is a painting by French Academic artist Hugues Merle (1822-1881).
It is part of the collection of the Chrysler Museum of Art, in Norfolk, Virginia.
The woman’s face is a mask of suffering while she cradles, not a sleeping baby, but a wooden log!
Is Merle’s "Lunatic" mourning the loss of a child, or mad with longing for one?
