Optimism, Ella Wheeler Wilcox

"...And e'en in this great throe of pain called Life
I find a rapture linked with each despair,
Well worth the price of anguish. I detect
More good than evil in humanity.
Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes,
And men grow better as the world grows old."
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Optimism from Poems of Pleasure, 1888
