I shed my tears; my tears – my consolation; <br />And I am silent; my murmur is dead, <br />My soul, sunk in a depression’s shade, <br />Hides in its depths the bitter exultation. <br />I don’t deplore my passing dream of life -- <br />Vanish in dark, the empty apparition! <br />I care only for my love’s infliction, <br />And let me die, but only die in love!<br /><br />Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wish-2/
