They ask little, for they know it is little they will receive for all their asking, but what little is so dear, as it always is to the autumn-hearted who know life is pitiful and infinitely sweet.

About This Quote

" Autumn-hearted" is an interesting phrase. It says to me that this person still has hope and faith in love and relationships even though they are experiencing what they feel is the end of everything. The idea of " autumn-hearted" comes from the idea that "autumn-hearted" people tend to lose hope when things go wrong, but then find hope again when the next season begins. So it's like losing hope for a moment, then finding hope again after that moment. Even though this person is in the midst of heartbreak, they still have hope for a new beginning.
