Someone said this book was a trip, and yes, it was just that.

"I was conscious of a relationship between me and the pulsation of nature, between me and the profound night which had descended upon my spirit. This silence is a language which we do not understand. My head began to swim in a kind of intoxication." 


There were so many insanely beautiful I think I highlighted half of the book.
Although I not vibe with the misogyny.
