The Suffering

Em
"The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper
Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of happy mutual love
have missed the best thing that life has to give

the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind."
