Summary

This quote conveys a complex sentiment of contrasting beauty with morbidity. It suggests that the sight of something incredibly beautiful, like a cherry blossom tree in full bloom, evokes a desire to showcase one's own happiness. However, there is also a darker undertone implied, suggesting a willingness to be suspended from a flowering tree, perhaps as a means of becoming part of that beauty or escaping the hardships of life. It represents a contemplation on the fleeting nature of beauty and the dichotomy between joy and a yearning for release.

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain

I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.
