Yellow Fever Quotes

• Al desembarcar en New York me contagié la fiebre amarilla caminando hasta el banco de Greenwich para conseguir el dinero al que me daba derecho la carta de crédito de mi padre. El amable hombre que comandaba el barco que me trajo de Francia, cuyo nombre era común, John Smith, se ocupó especialmente de mí, me trasladó a Morristown, Nueva Jersey, y me puso al cuidado de dos damas cuáqueras que tenían una pensión. Puedo decir con seguridad que debo la prolongación de mi vida a sus hábiles e incansables cuidados.

• (Baudelaire) had descended to the bottom of the inexhaustible mine, had picked his way along abandoned or unexplored galleries, and had finally reached those districts of the soul where the monstrous vegetations of the sick mind flourish. There, near the breeding ground of intellectuals aberrations and disease of the mind - the mysterious tetanus, the burning fever of lust, the thyphoids and yellow fevers of crime – he had found, hatching in the dismal forcing-house of ennui, the frightening climacteric of thoughts and emotions.

• Si fueras, y espero que algún día lo hagas, verías un montón de cuadros de gente muerta. Verías a Jesús en la cruz, y verías a un tipo apuñalado en el cuello, y verías gente muriendo en el mar y en batalla y un desfile de mártires. Pero no. Ni. Cáncer. Cáncer. Niño. Nadie mordiéndolo por la peste o la viruela o la fiebre amarilla o lo que sea, porque no hay gloria en la enfermedad. No tiene sentido. No hay honor en morir de.

• Every man that tried to destroy the Government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the North, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the Union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a Democrat.

• The Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue fever and yellow fever, has traditionally been unable to survive at altitudes higher than 1,000 meters because of colder temperatures there. But with recent warming trends, those mosquitoes have now been reported at 1,240 meters in Costa Rica and at 2,200 meters in Columbia. Malaria-bearing mosquitoes, too, have moved to higher elevations in central Africa, Asia, and parts of Latin America, triggering new outbreaks of the disease.
