On [:] Expectation | William Shakespeare, 1623
Stelios Faitakis, Landscape, 2008
“What I can do can do no hurt to try, Since you set up your rest ‘gainst remedy. He that of greatest works is finisher Oft does them by the weakest minister: So holy writ in babes hath judgment shown, When judges have been babes; great floods have flown From simple sources, and great seas have dried When miracles have by the greatest been denied. Oft expectation fails and most oft there Where most it promises, and oft it hits Where hope is coldest and despair most fits.”
William Shakespeare, All’s Well That Ends Well, Act 2, Scene 1, 1623
