Americans say "hope springs eternal" and gasp when I say the Russian version: "Hope dies last." Now you tell me, which is more accurate?

Both are true; the difference I can see is, the former is probably too naively optimistic for a Russian palate, while the latter is too grimly honest for an American one.

A Ukrainian-fronted band of immigrants that does Slavic inspired folk punk has a song I like called 'Last One Goes The Hope'. Now I know the origin of the phrase. Thanks for that. youtu.be/dWXHnwgUp58

Hope floats. You can grab as much as you can or give up & let it drift away.
It’s possible Anne Frank lost hope at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as yellow fever dulled her eyes before she died and was thrown in a mass grave
But her diary showed she held onto hope as long....
