Bon Voyage, Mr. President

“Bring me a coffee too,” he ordered in perfect French. And specified without noticing the double meaning, “Italian style, strong enough to wake the dead.” He drank it without sugar, in slow sips, and then turned the cup upside down on the saucer so that the coffee grounds, after so many years, would have time to write out his destiny.” –Gabriel Garcia Márquez, ”Bon Voyage, Mr. President”
