If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for
five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with
our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its
aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and
if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could
wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it
seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of
discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become
paradise
