English term or phrase: holding plates of hope to an empty sky.

tirando i piatti della speranza verso il cielo vuoto

Explanation:
mi pare che "plate of hope" significa letteralmente pasto offerto gratuitamente ai poveri, ma vedi la citazione:
<<Doubt and unfaithfulness may throw the shadow back many degrees to-day on the dial-plate of hope; but God does not look at that to determine our acceptance with Him. He sees us only in the light of the true Sun of righteousness, and that is "without variableness neither shadow of turning." —A. J. Gordon, In Christ, pp, 115-116. >>
