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.

It means that your birth, with all your particulars, is a wildly improbable event, and hence precious. You won the sweepstakes by being born at all. Think of all the wallflower sperm and egg cells. You made it, buddy. Whew! What a staggering wonder! What a thing to rejoice in! The lottery wasn't fixed! God didn't rig it! You won fair and square! What a miracle!

The doctors take the bodily evidence as the disease. . . . disease is itself an impudent opinion. He throws off the feelings of the sick and imparts to them his own which are perfect health, and his explanation destroys their feelings or disease. . . . He is like a captain who knows his business and feels confident in a storm, and his confidence sustains the crew and ship when both would be lost if the captain should give way to his fears.
