Referencing obscure pre-industrial poetry is pretentious, but it does seem to enable that esoteric feeling some crave, so here goes, a quote from the 13th century...

like the fish from a sea of death...
reeketh
-Heraculates 1211 A.D.
I read her that poem, written far away and long ago, while she lit a burner on her electric stove.
But she still didn't get the message.
