Bedroom window open, I am listening to rain and Vergil (zeugmalicious!) while pleasantly imbriferous odors drift in. Falling thick as it is, the rain resembles a glassily condensed mist, descending at no usual speed.
Having returned, after a long departure of taste, to chocolate ice cream, I cannot declare but that among humanity's inventions, the substance ranks with fire in importance and above chocolate itself for sheer sensuality.
The power seems to have just now departed the neighborhood. I'd love to say that I'm writing by candlelight, but in fact the source is battery-powered. Now for a walk in this locally rare grade of darkness.
