bilby commented on the word transelement
O strike my heart with lightning from above,
That from one wound both fire and blood may spring;
Fire to transelement my soul to love,
And blood as oil to keep the fire burning;
That fire may draw forth blood, blood extend fire,
Desire possession, possession desire.
- William Alabaster, 'Lord, I have left all and myself behind'.
