Phlogiston



PHLOGISTON
[flɒˈdʒɪstɒn]

-noun
(chemistry) a hypothetical substance formerly thought to be present in all combustible materials and to be released during burning





















There was love once in the old frame
But it burnt out with the business of growing up
All phlogiston and sparkles petering out
As sentiments cooled off and settled somewhere else.
