"'May your skull be dark!' the rabbi intoned in short frenzied yelps, 'and your eyes be dark and your fate be of such dearth and darkness that you will call a poppy-seed the sun and a carroway the moon. Get up! Away! Or I'll empty my bitter heart upon you!'"
~Henry Roth, Call It Sleep, Rabbi Yidel
A fearsome threat indeed.
