From ancient times to modern days, the healing touch of compassion transcends physical injury. Just as Jesus healed the sick with a divine power, Florence Nightingale tirelessly walked amidst wounded soldiers, bringing light and solace. In a black and white illustration, her lamp illuminates the beds of those in pain. In another scene captured by H. Armstrong Roberts, we witness a woman sitting in a chair, gently rubbing her tired feet. A reminder that even small injuries deserve attention and care. Like the famous nursery rhyme suggests - 'They all ran after the farmer's wife, ' sometimes accidents happen unexpectedly. The sepia painting of three blind mice evokes sympathy for their plight as they try to navigate through life's challenges. A wound can be both sore and sad; it reminds us of our vulnerability but also our resilience. As depicted in another image, three blind mice stand together with a carving knife nearby - an unsettling yet powerful symbol of their determination despite adversity. Throughout history, tragic events like railway accidents have left scars on communities. An engraving from 1887 captures one such incident in North America - reminding us how important it is to learn from past mistakes and strive for safety. Don Quixote's story resonates deeply when considering physical injury; poor Basil represents every beaten knight who faces battles against windmills or giants alike alongside his loyal squire. La Fontaine's fable about the bear and two friends teaches us valuable lessons about loyalty during difficult times – just as these friends stood by each other despite danger or harm caused by others. Physical injury may leave marks on our bodies but never diminishes our spirit nor defines who we are at heart.
