Anemia Panacea

As a mother loves to see her child imbibe nourishment and expand, so God loves to see his children thrive on the nutriment he has furnished them. - Thoreau

blood on a shrewd ground

blood on a briary crown

diffused blood rained down

Author's Note

"But even suppose blood should flow. Is there not a sort of blood shed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man's real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death. I see this blood flowing now." - Thoreau
