    Reading is an embrocation for the mind. It softens the most hardened and unimaginative parts of the soul.

    The problem with an embrocation is lack of a way that the active ingredient can penetrate the dead skin. That's the rub.

    Is embrocation related to the embryo debate? If so, I'll certainly need more than 140 characters...
