1868 Confessions of an English Opium Eater de Quincey Alcohol & Drug Addiction
"Surely everyone is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a wintry fireside; candles at four o'clock, warm hearthrugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies to the floor, whilst the wind and rain are raging audibly without."
― Thomas de Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium Eater
