Unfolded still the more, more visible,

The more we know; and yet is reverenced least,

And least respected in the human Mind,

Its most apparent home. The food of hope

Is meditated action; robbed of this

Her sole support, she languishes and dies.

We perish also; for we live by hope

And by desire; we see by the glad light

And breathe the sweet air of futurity;

And so we live, or else we have no life.
