Poem by Margaret Cavendish

What Atomes Make the Wind Collick

LOng aiery Atomes, when they are combin'd,
Do spread themselves abroad, and so make Wind:
Making a Length and Breadth extend so far,
That all the rest can neither go nor stir.
And being forc'd, not in right places lye;
Thus press'd too hard, Man in great paine doth lye.

1. The Bignesse of Atomes
2. Of Sharpe Atomes
3. Of Loose Atomes
4. Of the Sympathy of Atomes
5. Motion Directs, While Atomes Dance
