Brings forth the night time smell
Out on the patio we sit
And the humidity we breath
We watch the lightning
crack over cane fields
Laugh and think

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror,
murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci

five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce?
The cuckoo clock.
-- Harry Lime to Holly Martins, The Third Man
