WHAT IS GOOD?

,“What Is the real good ?” I asked in musing mood. Order, said the law court; Knowledge, said the school; Truth, said the wise man; 1 Pleasure, said the fool; Love, said the maiden; Beauty, said the page; Freedom, said the dreamer. Home, said the sage; Fame, said the soldier; Equity, the seer, Spake my heart full sadly, "The answyer is not here.” Then within my bosom Softly this I heard: “Each heart -holds the secret; Kindness is the word.” —John Boyle O’Reilly.
