dearest - though you’re the nearest to my heart
please don’t ever, ever say we’ll part
you scold and you were so bold
yes, together our love will grow old

Toska

No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.

“The generation that had information, but no context. Butter, but no bread. Craving, but no longing.” —Meg Wolitzer, as quoted in The Twitter Trap (via syntheticpubes)

“Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination—indeed, everything and anything except me.” —Ralph Ellison
