"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain."

Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,

This feels so true in our modern world:
"Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'Tis the majority
In this, as all prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur,---you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain."
Anyone else an Emily Dickinson fan?
