Habakkuk 2:3 ('the vision has its own appointed hour; it ripens, it will flower; if it be long, wait, for it is sure and will not be late'): every imagined state has its own interval between planting and harvest, one coming overnight like a mushroom, another slow as an oak. The harvest is sure, so one waits for it without doubting.
