“With crutches broke the cripple cannot go; / One that is close of sight doth pity the show; / The one that’s lame, hath vision strong and clear, / He sees all dangers round, both far and near; / The one who’s vision’s dim, is hale and strong, / He carries the other with ease along: / By doing thus, an action, noble, kind, / Will to himself a greater blessing find."—Barber, 1857
