Explanation:
This question refers to Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope." In the poem, the poet compares the feeling of hope to a bird. She says:
<em>Hope is the thing with feathers </em>(referring to birds).
She says that hope never dies; it always lives in us, giving us the motivation to keep going, and to fight. She also says that even though hope gives us so much, it never asks for anything in return:
<em>I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
</em>
<em>And on the strangest Sea -
</em>
<em>Yet - never - in Extremity,
</em>
<em>It asked a crumb - of me.</em>
