Sweet Fruit
Baal Hasulam
Go and ask a botanist
How many phases the fruit undergoes
From the time it becomes visible
Until it is completely ripe.
Not only do its preceding phases
Show no evidence of its sweet and fine-looking end,
But as if to vex,
They show the opposite of the final outcome.
The sweeter the fruit is at its end,
The more bitter and unsightly it is
In the earlier phases
of its development.
