and a chill sets in across the land
“Antisthenes says that in a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible, so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer.”
~ Plutarch
I wonder if the opposite is true. In a certain faraway land it is so hot that words are heard before they are spoken.
I wonder!
