Coffee is real good when you drink it gives you time to think. It's a lot more than just a drink; it's something happening.

It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.

Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements and denials and vague distrusts and complicated disillusions. Then Melanctha would be sudden and impulsive and unbounded in some faith, and then she would suffer and be strong in her repression. Melanctha Herbert was always seeking rest and quiet and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble.
