He concludes that in time FAITH and HOPEwill pass away because we shall know the things in which we now have faithand our hopes will have been realized, but love, he contends, remains for-ever.The keynote of Venus is "love," "harmony," and "rhythm," and if wewant to know her nature we may profitably read that chapter and substitute"Venus' for "Love."
