🦋 Patrone de las causas urgentes y justas
A few lines from Marta Aponte Alsina's "Glen Island (1900)" . A prayer to Expeditus, the patron saint of urgent causes:
The days do not have 24 hours -- what you do today you will atone tomorrow, what today you seek will be bestowed on you tomorrow -- sometimes it will not even be your turn. The only speedy saint is San Expedito. ....
Do not envy the lion his mane, nor the untamed colt
his skull; nor yet the brawny
hippopotamus his enormous loin
Who prunes the bushy branches of the Baobab,
Roars at the wind.

No envidia al léon la crin, ni al potro rudo
El casco, ni al membrudo
Hipopótamo el lomo corpulento
Quien bajo los ramajes del copudo
Baobab, ruge al viento
(Rubén Dario, Estival)

That's "He does not envy... he who prunes... and roars..."
