William T. Vandemark
Excerpt:
In 1963, Celsus returned to London and was seen in the company of the poet, Sylvia Path. Cafe patrons reported the two in an animated discussion about love, electrotherapy, and assonance. “You refuse to understand,” Celsus said. “I am three: Intellect, shell, and inner fire.” “As am I,” Sylvia murmured. She passed a note: Even amidst fierce flames the Golden Lotus can be planted. The paper flared. Ash curled in Celsus’s fingers. “A draught from your lips would gutter me,” he said. “I cannot love you more than I do. I should not love you at all.” Each reached for the same napkin; a spark leapt between their fingertips.
