The Hunting of The Snark - Fit The Fourth: The Hunting

 See The Hunting of the Snark, by Lewis Carroll: Page 41

“To seek it with thimbles, to seek it with care;

    To pursue it with forks and hope;

To threaten its life with a railway-share;

    To charm it with smiles and soap!

In Greek mythology Elpis (ἐλπίς) is the spirit of hope She was depicted as a young woman, usually carrying flowers or a cornucopia in her hands. In Hesiod's Works and Days, Elpis was the last item in Pandora's box.
