excerpt "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe

"Sometimes he would go to work high on acid. He could see into their faces. Sometimes, he wrote, and sometimes he drew pictures of the patients, and as the lines of the ball-point greasy creased into the paper the lines of their faces, he could - the interiors of these men came into lines, the ball-point crevasses, it was the most incredible feeling, the anguish and the pain came right out front and flowed in the crevasses in their faces, and in the ball-point crevasses, the same - one! - crevasses now, black starling nostrils, black starling eyes, blind black starling geek cry on every face: 'Me! Me! Me! Me! I am - Me!' - he could see clear into them. And - how could you tell anybody about this? they'll say you're a nut yourself - but afterwards, not high on anything, he could still see into people."
