Book of Virtues - Socrates believed beauty is a thing that "slips in and permeates our souls." That idea lives in this simple little poem, which generations of young Americans memorized from McGuffey's Second Reader.
BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful faces are they that wear
The light of a pleasant spirit there;
Beautiful hands are they that do
Deeds that are noble, good and true;
Beautiful feet are they that go
Swiftly to lighten another's woe.
Take care. Enjoy the day! - Rachel
