Coffee
The Sanity Inspector
sonamed of a berry as black as soot, and as bitter...which they sip
still of, and sup as warm as they can suffer; they spend much time in
those Coffa-houses, which are somewhat like our Ale-houses or Taverns,
and there they sit chatting and drinking to drive away the time, and
to be merry together, because they find by experience that kinde of
drink so used helpeth digestion, and procureth alacrity.
-- Robert Burton, 1621

comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry
in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like
sharp-shooters. Honore de Balzac
