To soothe affliction in her darkest hour. [ H. K. White ]

Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath?

Bids every passion revel or be still,
Inspires with anger, or all your cares dissolves;
Can soothe distraction and most despair,
That power is music. [ Armstrong ]

When I consider what some books have done for the world, and what they are doing, how they keep up our hope, awaken new courage and faith, soothe pain, give an ideal life to those whose hours are cold and hard, bind together distant ages and foreign lands, create new worlds of beauty, bring down truth from heaven; I give eternal blessings for this gift, and thank God for books.
