``A city being brought to memory by the rain``

it has rained in new york for the past 13 days. i`ve always marvelled at what a nusiance rain is here, as opposed to karachi, where it was a cause for celebration. i especially loved the few hours leading upto a monsoon, when the sky would darken, and the weather would become cool, the air heavy with anticipation of a cleansing rain.
Agha Shahid Ali is a master poet, especially of nostalgia...
