That this, as well as other clays, is streaked and variegated, is owing to the mixture and insinuation of differently coloured, moistened and dissolved portions of earth. Hence the various colours of veined marble, colours inserted, during the liquescent state of marbles, by the concourse of differently shaded earths.

And now, as the night was senescent
And star-dials pointed to morn,
As the star-dials hinted of morn,
At the end of our path a liquescent
And nebulous lustre was born,

Blood mingled with liquescent skin and melting bone to form a reeking gelatinous mask.
