Are you of a singularly sanguine, choleric, melancholic, or phlegmatic inclination? Exclamation Point! 9, the ninth entry in our popular series of short new works, was inspired by the Four Ancient Humours, from the theory that the human body was filled with four basic substances. When the Four Humours were in balance, a person would be healthy. Disease resulted when they were not.
