# Where did that piece of verse come from?

## [Where did that piece of verse come from?](https://stevenjaycohen.com/journal/where-did-that-piece-of-verse-come-from)

    25th Sep 2005   [iridium](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:iridium#body-wrapper) [os x](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:os%20x#body-wrapper) [software](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:software#body-wrapper)  

Peter van der Krogt posted details of J. Carrington Sellars [Chemistianity](https://elements.vanderkrogt.net/elem/ir.html) on the web. Realizing that I was building a new look for MacOSX that echoed Apple’s old Platinum, I started looking around the web for information about metals that were similar to Platinum. When I reached Peter’s site, this is what I found:

IRIDIUM, Platinum’s twin companion And to which it has a great resemblance, Is a white and brittle metal that fuses With difficulty in the Compound Blowpipe flame.

It was so exactly what I was looking for, that I had to use it. Thank you so much [Peter van der Krogt](https://elements.vanderkrogt.net/)!
