There are three wicks you know to the lamp of a man's life:
brain, blood, and breath. Press the brain a little, its light

and out go all three of the wicks. Choke the air out of the
lungs, and presently the fluid ceases to supply the other centres
of flame, and all is soon stagnation, cold, and darkness.
