FRIENDSHIP
Sympathy is the wine of life. A man has comfort in a friend when he is absent and when he is nigh. " The panic of physical strength reinforceth the onset," and so is the society of two men dearer to them for the interval of interruption. Friends fill that interval with pleasant thoughts which borrow their charm from the magic of this gentle sentiment. They treasure up the occurrences and thoughts, the times and chances that were mixed in their cup of life, to regale each other with the feast of memory. Words may be free, thought may be free, and the heart laid bare to your friend, but, nevertheless, the freedom, even of friendship, hath a limit, and beware how he passes it. . . .
