UWP Lecturers Coffee-house Update

[Kate Watt]

This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general
commotion.  Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the
battlefield, and the battle takes place.  Things remembered arrive at full
gallop, ensuing to the wind.  The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a
magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their
train and ammunition, the shafts of wit start up like sharpshooters.
Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle commences and
is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.
~Honore de Balzac, "The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee."
