If anyone doubts Bradbury’s brilliance with making ordinary language into lyrical brilliance, all they need do is read There Will Come Soft Rains. It impacted my students over the years, tough kids from western Queens who knew little or nothing of Sci Fi, but Bradbury transcended the genre and reached the soul.
I was one of those captured and entranced by Bradbury’s There Will Come Soft Rains. Reading his stories was always like eating a fine dessert.
