The Mission Of Sympathy: A Poem, In Four Cantos (1850)

By William S Villiers Sankey

Book Overview

The Mission of Sympathy is a poem written in four cantos by William S. Villiers Sankey in 1850. The poem is an exploration of the concept of sympathy and its role in human relationships. The first canto sets the scene, describing the world as a place of suffering and sorrow, where people are in need of comfort and compassion. The second canto explores the nature of sympathy and how it can be used to alleviate the pain of others. The third canto looks at the obstacles that can stand in the way of sympathy, such as pride and selfishness, and how these can be overcome. The final canto offers a vision of a world where sympathy reigns supreme, where people are united in their compassion for one another, and where suffering is alleviated through the power of empathy. Throughout the poem, Sankey uses vivid imagery and powerful language to convey his message, making The Mission of Sympathy a moving and thought-provoking work of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
