"The battle was lost, I could not support her," replied Leonard, mournfully. "But you did not desert her. When Pandora's box was opened, they say Hope lingered last " "False, false," said Leonard; "a heathen's notion. There are deities that linger behind Hope, Gratitude, Love, and Duty."
The vessel dipped with long regular pulsations; vague and spectral under the low stars, its swaying pinnacles spotted here and there with lights, it seemed to rush through the darkness faster than by day. Count Otto had come up to walk, and as the girl brushed past him he distinguished Pandora's face with Mrs.
Metaphorically, he took Pandora's box to the Park, put it in a sunny corner, and sat upon it, to keep the lid down, with Hope inside, while he thought over the situation. It was not at all a pleasant one. It is one thing to have no money to spare, but it is quite another to have none at all, and he was not far from that.
"The battle was lost, I could not support her," replied Leonard, mournfully. "But you did not desert her. When Pandora's box was opened, they say Hope lingered last " "False, false," said Leonard; "a heathen's notion. There are deities that linger behind Hope, Gratitude, Love, and Duty."
As I had no previous knowledge of seamen, or their mode of life, I concluded that the rude behaviour of the Pandora's crew might be a fair specimen of it, and I was both pained and humiliated by the conclusion. It was a sad realisation or contradiction rather of all my young dreams about the free happy life of the sailor, and I was disgusted both with him and his life at the very outset.

I'd like you to hear me tell him the good news. I've got it here!" He patted the despatch case. "This is Pandora's box, Staff! With something better than Hope at the bottom: Certainty!" He laughed quietly, confidently, and his bright eyes flashed under their dark brows from one to the other.
But being an illogical woman, and a descendant of Pandora, I thought it would be amusing to open the Pandora's box and let all the little devils loose, just to see the glitter of their wings!" Shirley caught her hands delightedly. "You bully girl! Nothing could have happened better. I'll improve my time now, by visiting Mr. Warren's apartment, impolite as it is without an invitation.
She raised one end of the box a few inches from the floor, and let it fall again, with a pretty loud thump. A moment afterward, she almost fancied that she heard something stir inside of the box. She applied her ear as closely as possible, and listened. Positively, there did seem to be a kind of stifled murmur within! Or was it merely the singing in Pandora's ears?
Hope is at the bottom of every Essay of Emerson's as it was at the bottom of Pandora's box: "I never doubt the riches of nature, the gifts of the future, the immense wealth of the mind. O yes, poets we shall have, mythology, symbols, religion of our own. "Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song."
