Sympathy

SYMPATHY:

  1. A malady that sometimes afflicts the rich.
  2. The lees of the wine-cup offered to another.
  3. An impulse toward ourselves through the heart of another.
  4. Whatever may be extended to another that does not take the shape of money.
  5. The sum of all virtues.
  6. The first attribute of love as well as its last. (I am not sure but that sympathy is love's own self, vitalized mayhap by some divine actinic ray. Only the souls who have suffered are well loved.)
