[Quote No.20384] Need Area: Friends > General
"[poem: about the value of empathy, sympathy and compassion:]
No radiant pearl, which crested fortune wears,
No gem, that twinkling hangs from beauty's ears;
Not the bright stars, which night's blue arch adorn;
Nor rising sun, that gilds the vernal morn;
Shine with such luster as the tear that flows,
Down virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.
" - Erasmus Darwin
