DesiderataThe mythical first victim of syphilis was a shepherd who was disease-stricken by the gods after he blasphemed the sun. Certain forms of advanced syphilis affect the mind in such a manner as to cause prodigious artistic expression, including tremendous poetical production. These symptoms are generally followed by blindness, horrific bouts of auto-masochism, night-terrors, and, eventually, death. |
