Children of a Mirror

Our minds are a mirror's fragments now facing each other Reflecting rays of thoughts and passions from each ever-turning face Building a house named "Sympathy" built from those shaky beams Inspired by a passage from David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, Book 2, Section 5. "In general we may remark, that the minds of men are mirrors to one another, not only because they reflect each others emotions, but also because those rays of passions, sentiments and opinions may be often reverberated, and may decay away by insensible degrees."
