Despair

These last three theoretical methods have no real kinship to any of the major categories or precursors. The first is the one that has caused Strike more despair than any other. It was once a Top Ten recipe in the first edition. But it was a reckless gamble on Strike s part and Strike paid for it. Here is what Strike wrote last year... 

Finally on May 28, 1850, in a fit of despair, Mayer threw himself out of his bedroom window to the street thirty feet below, but escaped without serious injui y. He spent three years in mental hospitals and did little scientific work of value after his release in 1853, although he was able to return to limited seiw-ice as a physician in Heilbronn. 

I try to tell myself that it is the Devil who has seized his opportunity to cast me into sinful despair when aid may yet come. But I cannot quite believe it this despair is born of God s truth. 

Sure, my sins are manifold—as are any man s—and despair not the least of them, nor yet the most. Only true penitence can save me, that I know, and I am penitent. Yet I have never been able to think Louis s and my love sinful. It is like believing that white is black. 

On the morrow, it was given out that Henry had died of despair at the loss of his cause. His corpse was shown at Paul s, his face uncovered, that the commons would see and know it to be true. If they ran forward with kerchiefs to soak them in his blood for a holy relic, that did less harm to the realm than if the blood had stayed in his living body. 

Men pray that they will know the hour of their death. You might say I knew it then, and but for the wild dreams of hope that overcome me in moments of despair, and make my despair worse when they flee again, I have known it ever since. 

How much did he love Izzy Could I have made him love me, as I did him Why did he leave I d thought it was settled, my love for him, a solid layer of despair low down in me like a riverbed above which life went on swirling by. But when he left, it all started again. 

And where should I begin At the beginning, as Izzy begins her story of the Solmani Press Or at the moment when, after exile and despair, God amended all ...

American people had been afraid too but their fear had sunk to a warmly communicable despair that often yielded positive action and a defiant release from the thing Franklin Roosevelt called "fear itself." Now the fear which the government should be meeting with vigorous courage expressed itself in an apathy and cynicism more disturbing than bonus marchers or farmers standing on their front steps with pitchforks in their hands. 

Finally, the wrangle is halted. The audience in the gallery settles down. Above the level of the fury and bias, the defendants dock faces the bench. By the strange convention of juridical architecture, height stands for both despair and dispassionate judgment. 

Many of the strategies discussed presume that a person has some awareness of a drug problem. But what can you do to motivate someone who has little awareness of a problem, or who may be very ambivalent about behavior change Do not despair, because there are strategies that may work with unaware or ambivalent clients, too. 

What I ve found is this illness is cyclical. You might be in the depths of despair and illness one moment, but then the body does have an uncanny ability to repair itself, if not to recover fully, to at least improve noticeably. 

When I was in the depths of despair I went for prayer and the laying on of hands with friends. I did that quite frequently. That was what helped me to keep going. People do get healed in the most... 

The refractive index changes with temperature. If your reading is not the same as that of a handbook, check the temperatures before you despair. 

Another disadvantage of a pictorial notation is that there aren t enough symbols to cover all the subtly different things we want to say. You can invent only so many variants of boxes and lines and round things if there are too many of them, newcomers soon despair of remembering what they mean. 

Unfortunately, the baser elements of that character gradually take control as the film moves along, and Lawrence slowly declines into a dangerous blend of despair and self-assurance. The problem... 

She sits by her window in the June twilight, the numbness of despair taking possession of her. On the table lies all the money she owns in the world. It is sufficient to cover the few bills she owes, the salary of the woman who has traveled with her as maid and companion, and pay her passage back to her native land. But what then America once reached, where can she go, to whom can she turn The distant relatives, the friends who crowded around her in her days of success, anxiously seeking a smile, a word, a token of her favor, how will they receive her if she goes to them a pauper, a dependent upon their charity There is no one to whom she can turn, no place to which she can go, and as the twilight deepens a heavier blackness settles upon the soul of the girl.
