hello guys,
to be honest /lit/ isn't one of the boards I usually frequent but I've got an inquietude and couldn't think of a better place to ask about it.
Pic pretty much related,
This phrase "Hope is the dream of a soul awake", I've seen it around for a time now, and it just doesn't click to me for some odd reason.
Now I must state, English isn't my mother language and I'm far from being proficient on it, and is likely the root of my confusion.
I just think that the phrase would sound better if it was written as "Hope is the dream of an awaken soul".
so, my doubt is, is the phrase "Hope is the dream of a soul awake" grammatically correct or is just something wrong with me?

Thanks in advance.

>reading a translation
Sweetheart, you have to learn French then read the quote to get the author's true intent.

is not like you couldn't enclose the author's intention in other language with a proper translation.
For me this looks like something that was translated from french to other (a third) language and then it was translated to english by someone that wasn't too familiar with the language in the first place.

I find that you have to be fluent in the original language to translate it yourself into Latin before fully appreciating its meaning.

It is grammatically correct but it is meaningless.

Hope can be many things. It's how/whether you use it, no?
