Sometime we see a cloud that's dragonish;
A vapour sometime like a bear or Hon,
A tower'd citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory
With trees upon 't, that nod unto the world,
And mock our eyes with air: thou hast seen
these signs;
They are black vesper's pageants.

| text = <poem>But there is one thing which we are responsible for, and that is for our sympathies, for the
manner in which we regard it, and for the tone
in which we discuss it. What shall we say,
then, with regard to it? On which side shall we
stand?

In the wide waste there still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of thee.

| text = <poem>There is in souls a sympathy with sounds.
Jobling, there are chords in the human mind.
Our souls sit close and silently within,
And their own web from their own entrails spin;
And when eyes meet far off, our sense is such,
That, spider like, we feel the tenderest touch.
Dryden—Manage a la Mode. Act II. Sc. 1.
The secrets of life are not shown except to
sympathy and likeness.
Emerson—Representative Men. Montaigne.

With social sympathy, though not allied,
Is of more worth than a thousand kinsmen.
Euripides—Orestes. L. 846.
He watch'd and wept, he pray'd and felt for all.
