Poem by Margaret Cavendish

Of Loose Atomes

IN every Braine loose Atomes there do lye,
Those which are Sharpe, from them do Fancies flye.
Those that are long, and Aiery, nimble be.
But Atomes Round, and Square, are dull, and sleepie.
Author:Cavendish: Change is made by several-figur'd Atomes, and Motion.
