There's a rather interesting story about that little verse. Aldous Huxley was among the first experimenters with LSD. During an early trip Huxley was struck with sudden inspiration, scribbled something on a scrap of paper, and stuck it in the pocket of his overcoat. Several days later, Huxley suddenly recalled this moment of pure understanding, rushed to the coat-rack, and discovered the above cited poem. |
