[Sunlight] The Trick About Thawing Grapes

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I speak harshly to free you from meanness,
as frozen grapes thaw with pouring cold water
on them. That loosens the hardness and bitterness.

With a little scolding, you warm,
and the sweet grape-blood comes back.

-- Mathnawi III, 4193-4196
