When Marie arrived in Paris in 1891, she studied physics at the greatest university in Europe, the Sorbonne. But how poor she was!

When she was growing up in Russian-occupied Poland, even to study science was forbidden.

A moment later, people passing by the School of Physics and Chemistry were treated to a sight not often seen on the fashionable streets of Paris in the early 1900s: a bareheaded young woman in a laboratory smock, ripping eagerly into the pile of heavy sacks and burying her hands in . . . dirt?

No one, the Curies included, had ever seen this element. Still, the husband-and-wife team had given it a name: radium.

She also met the man who soon became her husband—Pierre Curie, a brilliant young physicist as promising (and poor) as Marie.

Where Tim the ostler listened; his face was white and peaked;

His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like moldy hay,

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,

Bess, the landlord's daughter,

Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

And that very night, as we lay packed tight

in our robes beneath the snow,

And the dogs were fed, and the stars o’erhead

were dancing heel and toe,

He turned to me, and “Cap,” says he,

“I’ll cash in this trip, I guess;

And if I do, I’m asking that you

won’t refuse my last request.”

Well, he seemed so low that I couldn’t say no;

then he says with a sort of moan,

“It’s the cursed cold, and it’s got right hold

till I’m chilled clean through to the bone.

Yet ’tain’t being dead—it’s my awful dread

of the icy grave that pains;

So I want you to swear that, foul or fair,

you’ll cremate my last remains.”

Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a lusty yell;

So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,

Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt;

With a smile of Christian charity great Casey's visage shone;

Talk of your cold! through the parka’s fold

it stabbed like a driven nail.

Then I made a hike, for I didn’t like

to hear him sizzle so;

And we started on at the streak of dawn;

but God! he looked ghastly pale.

And before nightfall a corpse was all

that was left of Sam McGee.
