HOPE - As Important As Air

Work Without Hope
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair--
The bees are stirring--birds are on the wing--
And WINTER slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring !
And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing,
Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
Yet well I ken the banks where Amaranths blow,
Have traced the fount whence streams of nectar flow.
Bloom, O ye Amaranths ! bloom for whom ye may,
For me ye bloom not ! Glide, rich streams, away !
With lips unbrightened, wreathless brow, I stroll :
And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul ?
WORK WITHOUT HOPE draws nectar in a sieve,
And HOPE without an object cannot live.

1 Corinthians 13: Faith, Hope, Love

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love, I have become sounding brass
or a clanging cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love,
it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;
love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
is not provoked, thinks no evil;

Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail;
whether there are tongues, they will cease;
whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

But when that which is perfect has come,
then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child; but when I became a man,
I put away childish things.

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
