„Neal Cassady and I went upstairs to Attic at Millbrook Castalia Foundation League for Spiritual Discovery, Leary’s group then experimenting with half-hour trip of D.M.T. Here’s Neal resting eyes closed with Mrs. Metzner who was in charge of the vial of liquid psychedelic Di-Methyl-Tryptamine. We’d driven upstate New York from the city, Neal at wheel, in Ken Kesey’s Merry Prankster’s bus newly arrived in the Apple on crosscountry hegira during Presidential, Fall 1964.”
