"He remembered it was the season of drought, when every day was the same as the last. Unexpected flowers bloomed and died. Strange insects scudttled from under rocks and writhed to their deaths in the burning light. The sun made distant trees tremble in the air and made the houses shudder and heave for breath. Clouds of dust puffed up at every tramping footfall and a hard-edged stillness lay over the daylight hours."

from "Paradise" by Abdulrazak Gurnah
