Understanding this quote
The quote presents hope as something difficult to classify. It is not a clearly visible thing that can simply be proved to exist, but it cannot be dismissed as nonexistent either. Comparing hope to “roads across the land” suggests that it is understood through the paths or possibilities it opens, even though it may not have a physical form.
