When I fell asleep at noon after getting drunk, I was still a little dizzy, so I couldn't tell the time when I woke up, but I felt that it was quiet, and I didn't hear the cries of the turtledoves or the swallows, and in the past mornings, the outside creaking and chattering had already become a mess.
