Albert Maignan's Green Muse (1895): a poet succumbs to the Green Fairy ie. Absinthe
While sometimes casually referred to as a liqueur, absinthe was traditionally bottled at a high level of alcohol and contained the hallucinogen chemical compound thujone in trace amounts, leading to it's banning.

Finally had a procedure today to remove these damn nasal polyps that have haunted me for 10 years. My nose is a bloody mess (and certainly going to hurt tomorrow), but I've been given painkillers and 2 weeks off work to recover, so lots of coffee and movies!
Should be breathing properly again too 👍

It is. I don't think they ever hid that it was a High Noon remake. I'm watching the new 4K transfer from Arrow, it's pretty neat!
