"Flowers are without hope. Because hope is tomorrow and flowers have no tomorrow"

In this quote, Antonio Porchia is recommending that flowers do not possess the concept of hope since they do not have a tomorrow. This statement can be translated in a few various ways. One analysis is that flowers do not have the ability to expect or plan for the future, so they can not have expect what is to come. Another analysis is that flowers, unlike humans, do not have a sense of time and for that reason do not have a concept of tomorrow. This quote might also be seen as a commentary on the fleeting nature of life, as flowers flower and wither rapidly, without the luxury of tomorrow. Overall, Porchia's words remind us to value the present minute and not to depend on wish for the future.
