the stubborn refusal to let the future stay dark before the lights are even on
means The feeling of wanting something good to happen and believing it actually might, even when there's no guarantee.
from From Old English 'hopa,' a noun rooted in the verb 'hopian' (to wish, expect, look forward to). It shares deep Germanic kinship with words like Dutch 'hoop' and German 'hoffen.' The ultimate source is murky — some have linked it to a root meaning 'to leap,' as if hope were a small jump toward the future — but that connection is uncertain and best treated as a pleasing maybe rather than a fact.
