"[Whoever has no house will never build one now.]
Whoever is is alone now will remain so,
will stay awake, read books, write long letters
and wander restless back and forth,
among the tree-lined streets, as the leaves drift down."
Rainer Maria Rilke, from “Autumn Day”, translated by Edward Snow (via the-final-sentence)
