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.

Wow, this book is a fever dream in the best way. However, it is super dark, so I would not recommend for most people. But for me, it’s in my all-time favorites. The writing is stunning, beautiful, gorgeous.
