The Beauty of Sadness

It was Keats who wrote within his 'Hyperion' poem that the more sorrowful the gods, the more beautiful they looked. There is a person I hold dear to my heart who has always been told they looked so sad, and yet, most assuredly, though they may look as such, only some of the time, this factor of their appearance does most definitely make them all the more becoming for it. This is then, for them...

And should,
for any reason,
you find yourself
so dispossessed;
know that you become beauty
being all the more
lugubrious
