All of spring snow.

In my late-20s here having just started a lucrative career of endless, soul-crushing drudgery while in a very serious long-term relationship, finally realizing my American bourgeois dreams, reading Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates absolutely devastated me.

Perhaps Crime and Punishment, the death of Sonya's father. I really felt the genuine misery and tragedy of that man. I wanted so bad for him to be redeemed and then... bah.

I was answering OP's question.

Stories of wonderful romance that I will never experience are the worst, for me. Allowing myself to experience them vicariously just makes me feel even more pathetic.

quote for reference
“But they hushed, all at once and quite abruptly, when he stood still at center stage, his arms straight out from his shoulders, and went rigid, and began to tremble with a massive inner dynamism. Nobody present had ever seen anyone stand so still and yet so strangely mobile. He laid his head back until his scalp contacted his spine, that far back, and opened his throat, and a sound rose in the auditorium like a wind coming from all four directions, low and terrifying, rumbling up from the ground beneath the floor, and it gathered into a roar that sucked at the hearing itself, and coalesced into a voice that penetrated into the sinuses and finally into the very minds of those hearing it, taking itself higher and higher, more and more awful and beautiful, the originating ideal of all such sounds ever made, of the foghorn and the ship’s horn, the locomotive’s lonesome whistle, of opera singing and the music of flutes and the continuous moanmusic of bagpipes. And suddenly it all went black. And that time was gone forever.”
