Beauty, it is assumed, is a most admirable thing, a desirable thing that delights the eye and the heart, a thing that seems to dwell somwhere between dream and reality.
It is the key in the door that we should be afraid to open in case as with that most exotic and wonderfully perfumed flower
“Deadly Nightshade” we find the product of so much beauty
is the deadly poison “Belladona”.

Jim Bird, 1998
