Poetry

In a Classical Greek comedy by Aristophanes, cuckoos were challenged by the gods to build a city in the clouds. Ever since, the phrase has been a reference to impossible plans, unrealistic schemes and crazy dreams.

Every page turn is an encounter with a new joy, and old friend, a common foe.
