I have often been downcast, but never in despair.
I know not whether you came to me or I to you. Not whether it was a dream, asleep or awake. I am lost in the darkness of a downcast heart. Dream or reality. Let it be decided tonight.
I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.
I have no business to feel downcast or querulous merely because when so much as been given me I have not had even more.
A joyful heart is more easily made perfect than a downcast one.
Friends never cheat on each other, or take advantage, or lie. Friends do not spy on one another, yet they have no secrets. Friends glory in each other's successes and are downcast by the failures. Friends minister to each other, nurse each other. Friends give to each other, worry about each other, stand always ready to help. Perfect friendship is rarely achieved, but at its height it is an ecstasy.
