Hope is not the creature of sensation. A miracle's the work of only days. Nor can faith be founded on conviction Unsustained by ritual and art. Knowledge of the senses is creation Kindled by a truth that sense betrays, As faith emerges whole from ancient fiction, Holding quiet commerce with the heart. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
