Favorite Quote:
&quot;We are not now that strength which in old days <br /> Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are--- <br /> One equal temper of heroic hearts, <br /> Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will <br /> To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. &quot;<br /> <br /> Tennyson

Black coffee is the best coffee.
It is a drink for the wanderer, the watchers.
It is not dumbed down by dollops of heavy cream.
Nor is it cut by spoonfuls of sweet sugar.
It simply sits, hot and heavy in the mouths of the many.
Then disappears, but it is the flavor that
Lasts;
For hours.
