Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Time is short, so the quote pushes you to act now. Love and kindness shouldn't wait for a better moment. The rushing verbs, 'swift' and 'haste,' make gentleness sound urgent, which is an unusual pairing since we normally hurry toward achievements, not tenderness.
