Nevertheless

you've seen a strawberrythat's had a struggle; yetwas, where the fragments met,a hedgehog or a star-fish for the multitudeof seeds.

What better foodthan apple seeds -  the fruitwithin the fruit - locked inlike counter-curved twinhazelnuts?

Frost that killsthe little rubber-plant -leaves of kok-sagyyz-stalks, can'tharm the roots; they still grow in frozen ground.

Once wherethere was a prickley-pear - leaf clinging to a barbed wire,a root shot down to growin earth two feet below;as carrots from mandrakesor a ram's-horn root some-times.

Victory won't cometo me unless I goto it; a grape tendrilties a knot in knots tillknotted thirty times - sothe bound twig that's under-gone and over-gone, can't stir.

The weak overcomes itsmenace, the strong over-comes itself.

What is therelike fortitude!

What sapwent through that little threadto make the cherry red!
