Isomeric State

Famous quotes containing the words isomeric and/or state:

    I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.
    Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)

    O! O! another stroke! that makes the third.
    He stabs me to the heart against my wish.
    If that be so, thy state of health is poor;
    But thine arithmetic is quite correct.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
