  • In depression . . .


     


    Faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent.
    The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition
    intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will
    come — not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. . . .

    It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.
