ODE by Arthur O'Shaughnessy

“You are sitting and smoking; you believe that you are sitting in your pipe, and that your pipe is smoking you; you are exhaling yourself in bluish clouds. You feel just fine in this position, and only one thing gives you worry or concern: how will you ever be able to get out of your pipe?” 

Artificial Paradises by Charles Baudelaire

DON QUIXOTE
