Meloncholy

Mono No Aware, 物の哀れ (Japanese)

I think this word can resonate with anybody. This word is used to be reflective on the fact that everything must come to an end. Even though we do not want it to. There are also things that you cannot control.

“Melancholy is the happiness of being sad.” ― Victor Hugo

I thought that this picture represented this quote because I thought that the stick looked lonely at first but then realized that I could look at it's loneliness in a positive way.

She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die;

I liked this quote from the poem because it shows both sides of melancholy; the happiness and the sadness. It shows that she lives in this beautiful world, but that beauty cannot last forever.
