Federico García Lorca, tr. by Sarah Arvio, from Selections; “Autumn Song,”

Against thy strength, Distance, and length; Do what thou canst for alteration: For hearts of truest mettle Absence doth still, and Time doth settle.

blue lily, lily blue — there is no good word for the opposite of lonesome. one might be tempted to suggest togetherness or contentment, but the fact that these two other words bear definitions unrelated to each other perfectly displays why lonesome cannot be properly mirrored. it does not mean solitude, nor alone, nor lonely, although lonesome can contain all of those words in itself. lonesome means a state of being apart. of being other. alone-some. adam was not always alone, but he was always lonesome. he knew he was different since aligning himself more tightly with the ley line this summer. he was himself, but more powerful. himself, but less human.

(Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless)
