Quote by Christina Rossetti

Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.

Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the delicate and fleeting nature of hope. Just like a harebell, which is a delicate wildflower known for its quivering appearance, hope is portrayed as something fragile and vulnerable, particularly in its early stages. The comparison suggests that hope is easily disturbed or lost, highlighting the need to nurture and protect it. Similar to how a harebell trembles upon blossoming, hope can also waver in uncertainty before fully flourishing.
