OPIUM.


(With the posting of this short, but pointed entry, where the absence of formal comment constitutes the best comment that I can think of, I am returning to my own blog entries for a while, after which Galina’s Bulgakov will return for the next installment.)

Religion… is the opium of the people.
Karl Marx.

Among the remedies which it has pleased Almighty God to give to man to relieve his sufferings, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium.
Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689), English physician, called English Hippocrates.
