Melancholy

Melancholy isn't despair, anger or depression. It is a wise accommodation with griefs, large and small, of existence. It is a commitment to face difficulties without rage or violence.

The melancholy person knows how tragic life can be. But greets sadness with stoicism, courage and quiet strength. Melancholy is not an illness to be cured. It is the wisest way to greet the folly of the world. It is an achievement.
There are melancholy skies, faces, times of day and pieces of music.
