 Coolness: 91900 | "There was a large mushroom growing near her, about the same height as herself; and when she had looked under it, and on both sides of it, and behind it, it occurred to her that she might as well look and see what was on the top of it.
She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar, that was sitting on the top with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else." ..... Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then." -Alice in Wonderland, Chapter 4, by Lewis Carrol. 
What's interesting is that Carrol wrote this book before knowledge of psychedelic mushrooms became widespread. Most likely, he had been aware of the mushroom's power by transmission through folk legend. |
