Pär Lagerkvist

(pintura de Adalbert Cuvelier, "Along the Scarpe River, near Arras", 1853)

"All is there, only I am no more,
all is still there, the fragrance of rain in the grass
as I remember it, and the sough of the wind in trees,
the flight of the clouds and the disquiet of the human heart.
Only my heart's disquiet is no longer there" (1)
