Loin que la raison nous éclaire
Et conduise nos actions,
Nous avons trouvé l’art d’en faire
L’orateur de nos passions.
C’est un Sophiste qui nous joue,
Un vil complaisant qui se loue
A tous les fous de l’univers,
Qui s’habillant du nom de sages,
La tiennent sans cesse à leurs gages
Pour autoriser leurs travers.
– Rousseau

A Pisa, il professor Vaccà diagnosticò l’abitudine alla droga a Shelley (2020)
“A Eton, dopo una malattia, il dottore che lo assisteva lo prese in simpatia e Shelley prese in prestito i suoi libri di medicina e da quel momento divenne profondamente interessato alla chimica e, a differenza dei dottori, sperimentò su di sé alcuni dei farmaci”.

“At Eton, after an illness, the doctor who attended him took a liking of him, and Shelley borrowed his medical books and was deeply interested in chemistry from that time, and, unlike doctors, he experimented with some of the drugs on himself.”
