3. hope is still a natural thing in our hearts

we've just learned to ignore and doubt it.

right beneath the pain.

7. Emily Dickenson: Hope

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

8. Thank you - that is beautiful.

9. The lovely Emily...

hope abides.
