“Their iterated clamations to excitate their dying or dead friends or revoke them unto life again … That they sucked in the last breath of their expiring friends was surely a practice of no medical institution, but a loose opinion that the soul passed out that way and a fondness of affection from some Pythagorical foundation that the spirit of one body passed into another which they wished might be their own.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Notebook: Sir Thomas Browne." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086 (87); Box 6 (87).
