blend together




these are that i need most

and these, together i must blend



speed of the fastest horse

gentleness of the gentlest woman



sure footing of the slowest tortoise

sluggishness of the laziest sluggard



patience of the most patient hawk

wisdom of the greatest sage



business of the busiest ant

crudeness of the carefree teenager



courage of the fiercest lion

fairness of the fairest judge



roughness of the roughest rock

innocence of the innocent infant



sweetness of the sweetest sugarcane

bitterness of the collegial rival



vigilance of the watchdog

study-habit of the studious student



sharpness of the sharpest knife

firmness of that autocratic dictator



smoothness of the cloudless sky

charm of the charming youth



vanity of the prettiest peacock

quickness of that courtroom advocate



wakefulness of the nightly owl

greed of the greediest moneychanger



hardness of the hardest coconut

wit of the wittiest Shakespeare
