One feels In beauteous vale, on Alpine snow-clad heights, In splendours of the days or glories of the nights, In frowning rocks o'erhanging depths below, On mossy banks where sweet flowerets grow, We see God's power and love infinitely wide "Thy Truth, most mighty Lord, on every side."
Hope is not a virtue; it is but a rainbow with which Fancy paints the black o'erhanging firmament, a golden shaft of sunlight with which she gilds Life's rugged mountain peaks, a melody most divinely sweet with which she cheers the fainting soul of man.

I remember this distinctly about one of my poems with a terrible title, "The Murderer's Request," in which I made an imaginary criminal pose for me, telling where he would not and where he would like to be buried.
