'Pity is the widow's mite; it is the incomparable offering of the poor man, who with generosity outstripping that of all the wealthy in this world of ours, gives with the gift of his tears a piece torn from his heart.'
from The Manuscript of a Village Doctor, a piece in Mother of Pearl by Anatole France (translated by Frederic Chapman)
