What more proof need we of the bountifulness of God’s promises than a mango tree in full fruit? Splendid they dangle as from the sky, on long yellow strings, swaying in constant movement to the rhythm of the Universe, bearing mangoes of many shapes and sizes and of endless, lovely colors. Mangoes, Manna, Gifts from Heaven, reminiscent of Eden’s Eternal Tree of Life.
— Sir Roland Richardson
