" They wouldn't du yer no gude, Mr. Pengelly," says the Devil. " I shu'd be more comfable in my mind, sir, if I said "em," says he. " Now, I'll tell yu what, Mr. Pengelly," says the Devil after a pause, " I'd like to deal handsome by yu. Yu've done me many a gude turn in your day. I'll let you live as long as yonder cann'1-end burns." "Thank'y kindly, sir," says Mr. Pengelly. And presently he says, for the Devil did not make signs of departing: " Would yu be so civil as just tu step into t'other room, sir? I'd take it civil. I can't pray comfably with yu here, sir." " I'll oblige yu in that too," said the Devil; and he went out to look after Mrs. Pengelly. No sooner was his back turned, than Mr. Pengelly jumped out of bed, extinguished the candle-end, clapped it in the candle-box, and put the candle-box under his bed. Presently the Devil came in, and said: " Now, Mr. Pengelly, yu're all in the dark: I see the cann'l's burnt out, so yu must come with me." "I'm not so much in the dark as yu, sir," says the sick man, " for the cannTs not burnt out, and isn't like to. He's safe in the cann'1-box. And I'll send for yu, sir, when I want yu." Mr. Pengelly is still alive; but let not the visitor to his farm ask him what he keeps in his candle-box, or, old man of seventy-eight though he is, he will jump out of his chair, and lay his stick across the shoulders of his interrogator. " They du say," said my informant, " that Mrs. Pengelly hev tried a score of times to get hold of the cann'1-end, and burn it out; but the master is tu sharp for his missus, and keeps it as tight from her as he does from the Devil."

The definitive work on the profound and surprising links between manic-depression and creativity, from the bestselling psychologist of bipolar disorders who wrote An Unquiet Mind. One of the foremost psychologists in America, “Kay Jamison is plainly among the few who have a profound understanding of the relationship that exists between art and madness” (William Styron). The anguished and volatile intensity associated with the artistic temperament was once thought to be a symptom of genius or eccentricity peculiar to artists, writers, and musicians. Her work, based on her study as a clinical psychologist and researcher in mood disorders, reveals that many artists subject to exalted highs and despairing lows were in fact engaged in a struggle with clinically identifiable manic-depressive illness. Jamison presents proof of the biological foundations of this disease and applies what is known about the illness to the lives and works of some of the world's greatest artists including Lord Byron, Vincent Van Gogh, and Virginia Woolf.
