Schadenfreude?


"What! shall it e'er be said by British tongue,
Albion was happy in Athena's tears?"

Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, XIII

NB This blog derives no pleasure from the misfortunes of others

Say No To Schadenfreude


"Can I see another's woe, 
And not be in sorrow too?
 Can I see another's grief,
 And not seek for kind relief?"

William Blake, On Another's Sorrow
