I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...
...who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy
among the scholars of war..." -Allen Ginsberg, "Howl"
