   I love the bilingual wit and the meaning of this one – but I think it might be overly constrained by its form.
   Would “raindrops / on a dry field” work? Or is there a more strikingly poetic way of expressing it for you?

   Thanks for the suggestion, Kris. What do you think about:

   Le mot juste -
   Raindrops on a dry
   field.

   Ah, to learn anew, to be in the right place or time . . . sometimes!
