The Italians know that everything in their country is . . . imbued with their spirit.
They know that there is no need, really, to distinguish, or to choose between the smile on the face of a cameriere
and Donatello's San Giorgio.

--Luigi Barzini, The Italians



Java This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion.
Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place.
  Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind.
  The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with start up like sharpshooters.
  Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.     
~Honore de Balzac, "The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee"



Did you know that conversation and coffee are two of the greatest pleasures in life?

Human My fiftieth year had come and gone,
I sat, a solitary man, in a crowded London shop, an open book and empty cup on the marble table-top.
While on the shop and street I gazed my body of a sudden blazed; and twenty minutes more or less it seemed, so great my happiness, that I was blessèd and could bless.
--W. B. Yeats, from "Vacillation"


When from a long-distant past nothing subsists, . . . still, alone, more fragile, but with more vitality, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls, ready to remind us, waiting and hoping for their moment, amid the ruins of all the rest and bear unfaltering, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection.
--Marcel Proust, Swann's Way


BREWThe wine improves. . . the candles begin to flicker.

--Clark Gable, "No Man of Her Own"
