Corpus of a Siam Mosquito

--Steven Sills







"So he spoke, and the bright-eyed goddess, Athene, was pleased
that she was the god he prayed to before all the others. She
put strength in his shoulders and knees, and set in his heart
the daring of a mosquito, which, though constantly brushed away
from a man's skin, still insists on biting him for the pleasure
of human blood."

--The Iliad
Homer



Book I: Palaver
