“I don’t see any mango buds,

with that Malabar smell
isn’t blowing,
but my longing alone says
that spring has come.”

“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
