“To cross a great river,” advises a third-century Chinese alchemical text, you should smear a mixture of mercury, carp gall, and dragon grease on the bottoms of your feet. “When you walk on the water, you will not sink.”
There’s folks ’ud hold a sieve under the pump and expect to carry away the water.
—George Eliot, 1859
