15/18 Suffering is suffering; be the sufferer man, brute, or thing. Let us do: let us act: let us down on our knees. And if, after all, we should be no more forever;-- far better to perish meriting immortality, than to enjoy it unmeritorious. While we fight over creeds, ten thousand fingers point to where vital good may be done. All round us, Want crawls to her lairs; and, shivering, dies unrelieved. |
