THE BEST WRITTEN WORDS FOR DEALING WITH SHITTY DAYS: Poem “Interview”
Poem Interview by Manuel Bandeira
Life that dies that subsists
fickle, ludicrous, grasping, vile
defiled !
If some reporter one day
asks me:
“What is the most lovely thing you find
in this thankless world?”
I won’t hesitate; I’ll
tell him:
“Most lovely?
I don’t know. But the saddest by a mile -
the saddest is a woman -
any woman with child.”
