"And last, not least, in each perplexing case
Learn the sweet magic of a cheerful face,
Not always smiling, but at least serene,
When grief and anguish crowd the anxious scene,
Each look, each movement, every word and tone
Should tell the patient you are all his own.
Not the mere artist, purchased to attend
But the warm, ready, self-forgetting friend
Whose genial presence in itself combines
The best of cordials, tonics, anodynes."

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, M.D. 1849.
