It’s not slime. It’s a baby kiss. (Delphine)
It's slime. (Zarek)”

Rise and deride this sepulchre of crime.”

Context: Here was the world's worst wound. And here with pride
'Their name liveth for evermore' the Gateway claims.
Was ever an immolation so belied
As these intolerably nameless names?
Well might the Dead who struggled in the slime
Rise and deride this sepulchre of crime.
“Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake”

Context: Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

And Thou Too (1888)
Context: Ay, gather your petals and take them back
To the dead heart under the dew;
And crown it again with the red love bloom,
For the dead are always true. But go not "back to the sediment"
In the slime of the moaning sea,
For a better world belongs to you,
And a better friend to me.
“Evil lives in a pit. If you want to fight it, you must climb down into the slime to do so.”
David Gemmell book The King Beyond the Gate
White cloaks show the dirt more thank black, and silver tarnishes.

Il y a des âmes sales, pétries de boue et d’ordure, éprises du gain et de l’intérêt, comme les belles âmes le sont de la gloire et de la vertu; capables d’une seule volupté, qui est celle d’acquérir ou de ne point perdre.
