L. Cortambert said, long ago: “This exquisite balm, so justly esteemed by the ancients, seems to have been prepared by Nature to soften our pains, thus we often employ the word balm in a moral and figurative sense to express what allays and softens our sorrows. Beneficient virtue, and tender friendship are true balms that cure the wounds of the heart.”
