Let No Man Take Your Joy!

John Randall Dunn

For many mortals, the word "joy" does not lend itself to ready explanation. A thousand people may give a thousand definitions thereof. One person's concept of joy may be anathema to another. To many, so evanescent and indefinable is it that these lines of Gerald Massey are particularly felicitous:

Not by appointment do we meet Delight
And Joy; they heed not our expectancy;
But round some corner in the streets of life,
They, on a sudden, clasp us with a smile.
