Fact gem of the day (#2): the ecstatic auras of Fyodor Dostoevsky
You probably know that Dostoevsky wrote Crime and Punishment, as well as the Brothers Karamazov. Did you also know that he had a unique form of epilepsy? In his case, the ramp up to a seizure was "a happiness unthinkable in the normal state and unimaginable for anyone who hasn’t experienced it."
It's called an "ecstatic aura."
