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)

“Father,
you died once,
salted down at fifty-nine,
packed down like a big snow angel,
wasn’t that enough?”
