“She never found fault with you, never implied
Your wrong by her right; and yet men at her side
Grew nobler, girls purer, as through the whole town
The children were gladder that pulled at her gown.”
Your wrong by her right; and yet men at her side
Grew nobler, girls purer, as through the whole town
The children were gladder that pulled at her gown.”
ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING
“Pitiful she was
To all who suffered, measuring loss and woe
By the large measure of her own deep heart,
And by the vastness of its treasure. Thus,
Even through joy, she knew the secret pang
Of sorrow; and through riches – poverty,
And loss by gain.”

“It seems to me it is the same with love and happiness as with sorrow – the more we know of it the better we can feel what other people’s lives are or might be, and so we shall only be more tender to them and wishful to help them.”
GEORGE ELIOT [pen-name of Mary Ann Evans]
