From PAGE 1 of book: "The blood has always fascinated humanity. Blood has been regarded as a living substance, the very essence of life. Poets have written of thick blood and thin, pale blood, red blood and blue blood, royal blood, and pure and eloquent blood. Goethe regarded blood to be "ein ganz besondrer Saft." It was John Donne, poet of seventeenth-century England, who spoke of pure and eloquent blood: ... her pure and eloquent blood, Spoke in her cheeks, and so distincktly wrought, That one might almost say, her bodie thought."
