And you never can tell just how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when yout're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. 反转之间定成败 疑云后面是曙光 距离成功多近 你却从来不自知 也许只在咫尺，也许遥不可及; 即使遭到最重击，也要坚持不放弃 情况变得再糟糕 也要挺住不放弃 9 What 's the key message conveyed in the poem?

The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence.
