The Great Soberer

Coffee, the sober drink,
the mighty nourishment of the brain,
which unlike other spirits,
heightens purity and lucidity;
Coffee, which clears the clouds of the imagination
and their gloomy weight;
which illuminates the reality of things
suddendly with the flash of truth.


Amen!

Jules Michelet, French historian (1798-1874)
