Alternate Author Name(s): Cendrars, Blaise

The heat is overwhelming
Porch shaded with Virginia creepers and purple honey-suckle
In the deep silence of the sleeping countryside
Dimly stir
The gurgling of little rapids
The far-off lowing of cattle in the fields
The nightingale song
The crystalline whistling of giant-toads
The howling of hungry night-beasts
And from the cactus the call of the mocking-birds.
