| quote  = The milk of the unripe pod is the milk of paradise — and the milk of the sleep that knows you. From De Quincey to Coleridge, from the Sumerian tablet that called her ''hul gil'', the joy plant, opium has been the longest conversation Western literature has held with a single Ally. There is no way to write honestly about her without also writing about the closing of the door.
| quote  = The opium poppy is named for sleep: Somnus is the Roman name for Hypnos, the god of sleep. Nyx, the goddess of night, carries poppies in her hand, while her son, Thanatos, death, wears a poppy garland. Hermes, the shaman god who travels between the worlds, carries a staff that brings sleep. His home was Mekone, "poppy town," the place where Prometheus stole fire.
