The poet who calls attention to the suffering of the poor, or the persecutions of reformers, or shows the ills in family life brought about by our marriage system, or announces a social message, is not a propagandist when he writes something that evokes our emotions.

"The Literature of Ecstasy"
Albert Mordell
In this day, as then, the touch of poverty always evokes Christ's attention.
