"Or we'll die?" I guessed.

"Well...after you shrivel slowly to dust, yes."

"She's a treasure." Bram agreed, blithely ignoing the sarcasm.

Charles Baudelaire
"My love, do you recall the object which we saw,
That fair, sweet, summer morn!
At a turn in the path a foul carcass
On a gravel strewn bed,

Its legs raised in the air, like a lustful woman,
Burning and dripping with poisons,
Displayed in a shameless, nonchalant way
Its belly, swollen with gases."
— Charles Baudelaire (Les Fleurs Du Mal)

Peter H. Fogtdal
"In my carpet bag are the mushrooms that I gathered in the woods. With two fingers I pick up a piece and look at it. Then I take a bite and wait for my body to react. Now I'm in a better mood. In a short time I'll be dead. Or alive. I'm not always sure that there's any difference."
— Peter H. Fogtdal (The Tsar's Dwarf)
