...annual ritual of making soy sauce and soya paste. Each winter, virtually every household makes loaves of soybean mash and stores them in a cool, dark place, often under the eaves, so that they will get moldy. To make sure that the mold develops, some Koreans buy a pure culture and spread it on their loaves. By early spring, a furry black or gray growth covers the mash. The Koreans scrape off this "exuberant fungus," as Seel described it, and soak the loaves in brine for a month. Then they pour off the black liquid, which is soy sauce...
Most of our complex emotions can be traced to the gurgling of enzymes. Even happiness. There is a pill of synthetic mescaline available in some corners of the underground, which, during its first four hours, gives you a gush of pure, unexplained happiness. And the same goes for tense, moral anguish. Perfectly above-ground psychiatrists have been giving their uncomfortably anxious patients a drug called librium (itself one of the atomic elements) to space them out a little more...

Indeed, astronomers have found that space has a constant temperature of 3° Kelvin held by the uniform spread of radiation from the original "Big Bang" which created the universe...
...unmusical a sound is produced by electric lead guitar--it consists of no more than a raw electronic note. A little mystifying to think that this particular sound is the supreme voice of rock-music. But suddenly, when Sheldon is playing, pulling out an insistent sizzling line of pure sound, polished and gleaming at the edges, like a stream of oozing silver liquid, everything begins to make sense and rock is redeemed as one of the most important artistic movements of out time...
...rigors of la poésie pure, the publication of his complete works under the title Vita d'un Uomo, and finally his unanimous election as President of the European Community of Writers in 1962 signaled a waking from the turbulence of his younger years to the task of what Glauco Cambon called "a generous asceticism." The narrative poem, "Choruses Descriptive of Dido's States of Mind," written during the Fifties, brings to Ungaretti's work the knowledge that, in Cambon's words, "Experience is the progressive exorcism of illusion...
