How would you interpret this sentence?
The United Nations have adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was all on the radio today, and even the howlers achieved a tone of deference. Eighteen articles, establishing every person on earth to be born free and equal, endowed with conscience to act toward every other in a spirit of brotherhood. Maybe Mrs. Brown is right, and we know not where a little raft of hope could carry us. Article 18 states: All persons have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion or belief.
How would you interpret this sentence: we know not where a little raft of hope could carry us?
Does it mean we don’t know where we could get on a little raft of hope?
OR does it mean we don’t know to what place a little raft of hope could carry us?
Thanks! And this excerpt is taken from The Lacuna by Kingsolver.
