“One thing you cannot know: The sudden extinction of every alternative, The unexpected crash of the iron cataract. You do not know what hope is, until you have lost it. You only know what it is not to hope: You do not know what it is to have hope taken from you Or to fling it away, to join the legion of the hopeless Unrecognized by other men, though sometimes by each other.” KnowsMenSometimesHopeLostTakenOne ThingAlternativesUnexpectedIronHopelessCrashExtinctionHaving HopeFlingLegion Book:The Complete Poems and Plays of T.
