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. 

1. The Bignesse of Atomes
2. All Sharpe Atomes Do Run To The Center, And
3. What Atomes Make the Wind Collick
4. Of Sharpe Atomes
5. Motion Directs, While Atomes Dance
