Great Regulars: There is perfect order of the sequence:

wonder when the bride arrives; mystery and solemnity in the religious service where the choristers sing the joyous anthems; Dionysian jollity in the feast; poignancy in the bridegroom's longing when he can come unto his love; serenity at the close in "the safety of our joy"; and the final hope of a large posterity.

Where unassuming forgiveness exists, there exists wisdom. As in the lake full of water lotuses grow, or as prosperity grows in the homes of the fortunate, so does forgiveness grow ever more in the man of wisdom (Jnana). He puts up with everything that happens with the same enthusiasm. (As a man shows in wearing new garments made to his special liking).

from Bhaskar Banerjee: Merinews: Forgiveness and compassion
