May their souls in heavenly sunshine<br>Be rested, and walk peaceful through that forest.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I think that life itself is like the forest, <br>A dark one, where one knows not whether sorrow<br>Will come, or else a glade o'erspread by sunshine, <br>That suddenly becomes a fall of water<br>That patters down in raindrops, in its nature.<br>Will those trees bloom or turn to crumpled paper? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">I'll use no further paper from the forest: <br>My nature does not wish for you to sorrow, <br>But sit by flowing water in the sunshine.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Mitchell">David Mitchell</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=558425" data-title="I write these lines upon a sheet of paper de David Mitchell" data-description="I write these lines upon a sheet of paper That someone made from what was once a forest Without much thought (as I suspect) for nature: Does this not fill my heart with guilty sorrow?
