The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the hashish experience. Some of the poems are contemplative and introspective, while others are more vivid and hallucinatory.The Poem of Hashish is a fascinating look into the mind of a poet who was deeply influenced by his experiences with drugs. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of drug use and its impact on art and literature.In the intoxication of hashish there is nothing like this. We shall not go outside the class of natural dream. The drunkenness, throughout its duration, it is true, will be nothing but an immense dream, thanks to the intensity of its colours and the rapidity of its conceptions. But it will always keep the idiosyncrasy of the individual. The man has desired to dream; the dream will govern the man. But this dream will be truly the son of its father. The idle man has taxed his ingenuity to introduce artificially the supernatural into his life and into his thought; but, after all, and despite the accidental energy of his experiences, he is nothing but the same man magnified, the same number raised to a very high power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
