Rembrandt in Java
Anyone who can do this to coffee (the eau de vie), should be given a solid gold coffee pot. I just bought my little cheapo espresso machine yesterday, and believe me, I'm inspired!
...sometimes I write.
Said one oyster to a neighboring oyster, "I have a very great pain within me. It is heavy and round and I am in distress." And the other oyster replied with haughty complacence, "Praise be to the heavens and to the sea, I have no pain within me. I am well and whole both within and without." … a crab was passing by and heard the two oysters,…he said to the one who was well and whole… "Yes, you are well and whole; but the pain that your neighbor bears is a pearl of exceeding beauty." Khalil Gibran
