Cleanse the foul body of th’ infected world,
If they will patiently receive my medicine.”

On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
Burning and sweating venomously,
Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a foul odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.”
