Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hope
TO horsemen and others tyne hope, tyne the Scottish proverb says, and it is right, for hope is like a northern hawthorn bush, late ?owering but continuing long in bloom.
There is an element of speculation in it which faith quite lacks.
Thus, faith is for youth, hope for middle life, and charity, which only comes when faith and hope are dead, for age.
Sometimes, indeed, hope and her half-sister faith run almost into one another.
