pt 2 of quaternion sweltering the unpaved streets intolerably stifling everyone seeking cool air sitting enjoying the resite from the unusual heat the past called to mind the inconvenience the fear to venture out any capricious movement stifled sucking breath and perspiration in torrents tottering about clothes fluttering homewards making under a clear sky completing responsibilities in the dry desolate landscape till it runs with rain no one lives in the house abandoned to seek the shade until the late evening hours this season of long days humid nights the advanced in age apt to fall asleep with reflections of an idle hour
