but in times of a stormy weather,

when they don’t hesitate to be a lighthouse.

but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement
the greater part of life is sunshine.

the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff
than the one who stays away.

and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.
~ Katherine Mansfield
