The Swamp of Despond - The Pilgrim's Progress (In Modern English)

Christian was left in the Swamp of Despond alone; but he still struggled toward that side of the swamp which was furthest from his own house, and closest to the narrow-gate. But he could not get out, because of the heavy burden which was upon his back. I then beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he was doing there.
