"Memoir, Correspondence, And Miscellanies, From The Papers Of Thomas Jefferson"
Thomas Jefferson
When I take the history of one poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and represent to myself the struggles and temptations it has passed,-the brief pulsations of joy,-the feverish inquie-TUDE of hope and fear,-the tears of regret,-the feebleness of purpose,-the pressure of want,-the desertion of friends,-the scorn of a world that has little charity,-the desolation of the soul's sanctuary,-and threatening voices within,-health gone,-happiness gone,-even hope, that stays longest with us, gone,-I have little heart for aught else than thankfulness, that it is not so with me, and would fain leave the erring soul of my fellow-man with Him, from whose hands it came, 'even as a little child, Weeping and laughing in its childish sport.
"Hyperion"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
