5959 Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd 1795-1854 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5959
AUTHOR:Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795–1854)
QUOTATION:                ’T is a little thing
To give a cup of water; yet its draught
Of cool refreshment, drained by fevered lips,
May give a shock of pleasure to the frame
More exquisite than when nectarean juice
Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.
ATTRIBUTION:Ion. Act i. Sc. 2.
