By the Dry Rod F the Water is Depressed (Coition)
April 5th, 2011
Rods in a water basin attract or repulse water. When the rod has a wet end, it attracts water, when the rod is dry, it repulses water. Here rod F is dry and depresses the water nearby. [ZB Magnet 2] William Gilbert, De Magnete (London: Petrus Short, 1600), Zentralbibliothek Zürich, Alte Drucke und Rara, XVI.28, p. 58.
Sampurna Chattarji:The Art of Measuring Deviance
April 4th, 2011At noon your shadow
is a slow falling object
coinciding exactly
with my thirst for ink.
In the web of your fingers
a miniature giraffe
nestles, abhorrent
in its fraudulent cuteness.
Lap dog, lap giraffe,
how many degrees of deviance
will make me prove my love?

The rod C, that dips a little into the water, will attract the rod EF (floated by the cork H; the wetted end F sticks out of the water), provided that C is wetted a little above the water surface.

Sampurna Chattarji: Diagram
March 31st, 2011All points of me magnetised by you.
One half of me tending obliquely towards one half of you.
Cut to the quick, pierced to the core,
Your green heart, an apple, waiting to be bitten.
This, the middle of our lives, here, where it is hottest.
