Letter from Eugene O'Neill to Frederic Carpenter. June 24 (1932).
O’Neill admitted, that at one time he felt the need to grasp Oriental thought in order to acquire some philosophical background for his writings, did quite a lot of reading in Oriental philosophy and religion but did not make an intensive study of the field. The letter concludes with the revealing statement : "The mysticism of Lao-tse and Chuang-Tzu probably interested me more than any other Oriental writing."
