Hopkins, W: She Blows -

Résumé :
Excerpt from She Blows: And Sparm at That I AM nearing the evening of life. Many people think of me, I know, as a man who has attained to as much as one can reasonably hope for in this life if they think of me at all. It is not so much, after all. The things I have aimed for and missed seem, at times, much more impor tant than those I have had. But I put this thought by. Youth expects a good deal; and when one is young and for a long time after; indeed, until a man is old he finds hope at the bottom of the cup, enough of it to drown the taste of the bitter draught he has taken. I have evolved the theory that a man is old only when, the cup drained, there is no hope left in it. Thank God, I have not yet reached that point.
