It is night, a breeze blows that invigorates and interprets the thoughts of some while softening the thoughts of others because human thoughts are like plants. There are plants that are tolerant of the heat, and there are plants that are not; There are those who rejoice at night and those who mourn during the day. That breeze, to the nostrils of the minds of others smelled the sweetness of knowing that there was coming what they had been waiting for for so long and today they were going to get it in Leilane. For some it was the longest night ever, while for others it was the shortest. (Matsepe, O.K. 1968 Brain Tears.
