“Mr [James] Douglas would rather give a child prussic acid than allow it to read The Well Of Loneliness… I offered to provide Mr Douglas with a child, a bottle of prussic acid, a copy of The Well Of Loneliness, and—if he kept his word and chose to administer the acid—a handsome memorial in marble to be erected wherever he might appoint, after his execution. The offer, I regret to say, was not accepted.” — Aldous Huxley, Music At Night & Other Essays
