Vesper Talks To Girls

By MS Laura a Knott

Life is full of opportunities for new beginnings. Courage and hope go out of a person only when he ceases to believe that for him there is one more chance to retrieve the mistakes of the past. George Eliot says, "It is never too late to be what you might have been." Such a conviction is necessary if we would live lives of power. There is a sonnet by Senator Ingalls in which Opportunity is represented as saying, - "Soon or late I knock, unbidden, once at every gate - - - - - - - ... those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury, and woe, Seek me in vain and uselessly implore. I answer not, and I return no more " One who saw life from a different point of view 1] replied by a poem on the same subject in which Opportunity says, - "They do me wrong who say I come no more When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win." The latter view is surely the truer and more inspiring one.
