Get comfortable!

Here's an excerpt from Thomas De Quincey's intoxicating work, "Confessions of an English Opium Eater".

The title, I think, says it all.

De Quincey's confessional joins a timeless genre to which such luminary names as St. Augustine and Jean-Jacques Rousseau contributed. In this excerpt, you'll learn how the esteemed British author got hooked on the soporific drug, against whose recreational or medicinal use he's not exactly explicit in warning us!

Here on Pneuma, it should be said, we promote sobriety and wholesomeness, above all else. My reading of De Quincey is not an endorsement of his inebriated approach to life.

Substitute my voice for your opiates and fall right asleep!
