“My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
“Veils to my eyes?
nay, do not be afraid
that they will dart forth
serpents of appeal.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“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)
