Quotes

 * Whene’er I walk the public ways, How many poor that lack ablution Do probe my heart with pensive gaze,  And beg a trivial contribution!
 * "The bitter Cry of the great Unpaid" in  In Cap and Bells (1899), p. 76. Compare "Whene’er I walk this beauteous earth, How many poor I see, But as I never speaks to them, They never speaks to me", from an anonymous travesty.
