of sources.
Moth-like at night you flit or fly / To where the other patients lie; / I hear, as you brush by my door / The flutter of your wings, no more. / Shall I now call you in and see / The phantom vanish instantly? / Perhaps some sixteen stone or worse. / Suddenly falling through my verse! / Nay, be you sour, or be you sweet, / I'd see you not. Life's wisdom is / To keep one's dreams. Oh never quiz / The lovely lady in the street! / I knew a man who went large-eyed / And happy, till / he bought pince-nez / And saw things as they were. He died / — A pessimist — the other day.Frederick William (FW) Harvey

Nursing is not a profession. It's a way of life. Dan Andrews

Blue-eyed and bright of face but waning fast / Into the sere of virginal decay, / I view her as she enters, day by day, / As a sweet sunset almost overpast. / Kindly and calm, patrician to the last, / Superbly falls her gown of sober gray, / And on her chignon's elegant array / The plainest cap is somehow touched with caste. / She talks BEETHOVEN; frowns disapprobation / At BALZAC'S name, sighs it at 'poor GEORGE SAND'S'; / Knows that she has exceeding pretty hands; / Speaks Latin with a right accentuation; / And gives at need (as one who understands) / Draught, counsel, diagnosis, exhortation.William Ernest Henley
