I hear the birds rejoice; the hen,
Returned into the road again…
The country smiles;"
It’s all clear skies and the storms have passed: the whole farm smiles! We gathered up some fallen branches, in the path of where we want to move the caravans next. Wonderful red box gum, it would be heartwarming in the fireplace – probably very soon, as the morning have become quite crispy here!

--from the poem "Calm After Storm" by Count Giacomo Leopardi, the Italian 19th century Romantic with the longest name in the world (you don’t believe me? Try Count Giacomo Taldegardo Francesco di Sales Saverio Pietro Leopardi)
