> I live with a demon most terrible.
> She shits blood in the night.
> It drips up through the ceiling.

> Her eyes encircle her head, and she never sleeps.
> The first day I slipped it under my coat.
> The circlet of eyes never blinked, but she knew.

> The first week I tried mailing it,
> Rolling it in a rug, giving it a fake ID,
> But always she knew.

> I would have sold my soul.
> I bargained, but to no avail.
> She wanted it all.

> The pet store delivered a snake.
> "Bon appetit," said I,
> And later released the snake.

> She purged it.
> It isn't natural, you see:
> Demons were made before nature.

    The page is so wonderful that I want to write something about myself.

 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
