"I beg you to regard closely the thoughts of melancholics
Their words, visions, actions
And you'll discover how all their senses are depraved by
A sad humour spread through the brain."
(Adaptation of an excerpt from Johann Weyer's De Praestigiis Daemonum, 1563)
"A disorderly movement of the spirit
A defective state of the brain
Crown of madness
Without fever
Without frenzy
But with fear and sadness."
(Adaptation of an excerpt from Thomas Willis' Opera Omnia, 1681)
