Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. Emily Dickinson
About This Quote

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all and sweetest in the gale is heard. Hope is a strong emotion of wishing for something to happen, without knowing how it will turn out. This idea is especially important for anyone who feels they are going through a difficult time. Hope is what keeps us going when we get through the hardest things in life.
