The Uses of Sorrow by Mary Oliver


Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
