A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in/ A minute to smile and an hour to weep in/A pint of joy to a peck of trouble/………And that is life!
- Paul Laurence Dunbar-

The flowers take the tears/Of the weeping night/ And give them to the sun/For the day’s delight.

There are books from which a reader may learn nothing but by which they may become something.
