Balance of Emotions
“Love, Hope, and Joy, fair pleasure’s smiling train,
Hate Fear, and Grief, the family of pain,
These mixed with art and to due bounds confined,
Make and maintain the balance of the mind:
The lights and shades, whose well-accorded strife
Gives all the strength and colour of our life.” — Alexander Pope; An Essay on Man, p. 21
