Last night I swallowed the drug and floated dreamily into the golden valley and the shadowy groves; and when I came this time to the antique wail, I saw that the small gate of bronze was ajar. From beyond came a glow that weirdly lit the giant twisted trees and the tops of the buried temples, and 1 drifted on songfully, expectant of the glories of the land from whence I should never return. But as the gate swung wider and the sorcery of the drug and the dream pushed me through, I knew that all sights and glories were at an end; for in that new realm was neither land nor sea, but only the white void of unpeopled and illimitable space. So, happier than I had ever dared hope to be, I dissolved again into that native infinity of crystal oblivion from which the daemon Life had called me for one brief and desolate hour. http://web.archive.org/web/20020207 155336/adrian.adrian.org/exob.htm 9/8/2003 FBI(19-cv-1495)-1070 :
