Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
The following is a poem.
A description of the experience
From Love Hope and Patience in Education
O part them never! If Hope prostrate lieLove too will sink and die
But Love is subtle, and doth proof derive
From her own life that Hope is yet alive;
And bending o'er, with soul transfusing eyes
And the soft murmurs of the mother dove
Woos back the fleeting spirit and half supplies;
Thus Love repays to Hope what Hope first gave to Love.
Yet haply there will come a weary day
When overtasked at length
Both Love and Hope beneath the load give way
Then with a statue's smile, a statue's strength,
Stands mute sister, Patience, nothing loth
And both supporting does the work of both.
