Breath of interest it seems, in retrospect to have been the most singular aspect of Aldous Huxley's genius. As a man of letters, his reputation stood high for forty years. But his literary gifts and erudition were matched by his detailed knowledge of music and of medicine and by his eagerness to learn everything and to try anything-a philosophy, an exercise, or a chemical-that might expand the human animal's perception or potentialities. He was as comfortable with Charlie Chaplin as with Igor Stravinsky or Krishnamurtie; he would talk to a child, a dolphin, a banker and a medical seminar with the same exuberance and seriousness.
