أَطْوَلَ long
A comparative/elative-shaped word 'longer/how long', used in the fixed wonder-construction 'how X is...!'. After the exclamatory word it functions almost like a verb of astonishment governing 'your hope' as its object. So it does not compare two things here but intensifies - 'how very long'.
