More on Hope

More on Despair
“I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.”
“There is within me a friend who consoles me every time that troubles overwhelm me and misfortunes afflict me.

For life streams out of man's inner self and in no way from what surrounds him.”
“For now they kill me with a living death.”
