Opium – the Diary of his cure – Jean Cocteau
It is hard to feel oneself dismissed by opium after several failures; it is hard to know that this magic carpet exists and that one will no longer fly on it; it was pleasant to buy it, as in the Baghdad of the Caliphs, from the Chinese in a sordid street hung with washing; pleasant to return home quickly to try it out in one's hotel, in the room between the columns where George Sand and Chopin lived, to unroll it, stretch out on it, open the window on to the port, and take off. Undoubtedly too pleasant.
