Ipecacuanha

"The vulgarity of inanimate things requires time to get accustomed to;

but living, breathing, bustling, plotting, planning, human vulgarity

is a species of moral ipecacuanha enough to destroy any comfort."

~~ Thomas Carlyle

"Oh, Tom, you ol' dotard! What a way with words you've got!"

~~ Jess D'Zerts
