"Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth"

- Christina Rossetti

About this Quote

This quote by Christina Rossetti speaks to the fragility and charm of hope. The image of a harebell shivering from its birth communicates the concept that hope is delicate and vulnerable, yet strong and durable. The harebell is a small, bell-shaped flower that is frequently discovered in meadows and forests, and its charm and fragility are symbolic of hope. The shivering of the harebell recommends that hope is fragile and can be quickly crushed, yet it is likewise durable and can make it through even the harshest of conditions. The quote is a tip that hope is a powerful force that can help us through hard times, and that it needs to be treasured and nurtured. It is a tip that even in the darkest of times, hope can still be found.
