The true grace of a generous giver lies in bestowing before one even has to ask or say 'yes'; what delight is there in a gift if it does not arrive beforehand?

This couplet captures the divine elegance of true generosity. The poet reflects that the real grace of a bountiful giver lies in granting a wish before it is even spoken or affirmed. When a gift is preceded by denial or hesitation, the wound of hearing 'no' robs the eventual 'yes' of all its joy and charm.
