It rained—
 
kssss went the drizzle, kssss like the slow hiss of the serpents, kssss like Patrick in Ireland, kssss like the Garden of Eden, kssss like the Tree of Knowledge, kssss like the end of innocence, kssss like the seal on mortality, kssss like Father Lucifer the man, kssss like Father Lucifer the sane, kssss like the golden fiddle, kssss like a throne in Gehenna, kssss like paradise offered, kssss like paradise lost, kssss like a divine comedy, kssss like a bad ragtime, kssss like a bad day.
 
Artemis smiled. He had always preferred the drizzle to the rain.
