Confessions of an English Opium Eater de Quincey Alcohol & Drug Addiction
“Surely
everyone is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a wintry fireside;
candles at four o'clock, warm hearthrugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters
closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies to the floor, whilst the wind and
rain are raging audibly without.”
― Thomas de
Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium
