Quotes
-
When all has been said When the problems of the world Have been weighed gauged and settled When eyes have met And hands been pressed In the sobriety of the moment –some woman always comes To clear the table Sweep the floor and open the windows To let out the cigar smoke. It never fails.
Source: Kona (1983)
