Since I formerly launched a discussion on Hope, I would like here to develop the first discussion with a contribution regarding poetry on Hope. The PowerPoint contains a poem of Emily Dickinson together with some explanations on it. If you know other poems on Hope, or if you wish to comment on Emily Dickinson's poem, you are welcome. The text of Emily Dickinson's poem is:

“Hope” is the thing with feathers —That perches in the soul —And sings the tune without the words —And never stops —at all —And sweetest —in the Gale —is heard —And sore must be the storm —That could abash the little BirdThat kept so many warm —I’ve heard it in the chillestland —And on the strangest Sea —Yet, never, in Extremity,It asked a crumb —of Me.
