Explore "Sadness in Heaven" by Carlos Drummond de Andrade on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There's also a melancholy hour in heaven.
A difficult hour, when souls are seized by doubt.
"Why did I make the world? " God asks himself, and answers: "I don't know."
The angels glare at him, and feathers fall.
All the hypotheses - grace, eternity, love-are feathers and fall.
One more feather, and heaven will collapse.
Softly, with no bang to announce the moment between everything and nothing, the sadness of God.
