O'Neill, Eugene. Days without end. (New York, N.Y. : Random House, 1934).
FATHER BAIRD : …And what do you think was his next hiding place ? Religion, no less - but as far away as he could run from home - in the defeatist mysticism of the East. First it was China and Lao Tze that fascinated him, but afterwards he ran on to Buddha, and his letters for a time extolled passionless contemplation so passionately that I had a mental view of him regarding his navel frenziedly by the hour and making nothing of it !
Virginia Floyd : The philosophical and religious stages chronicled in Days without end for a novel's eighteen-year-old college student are identically those of O'Neill at that age when he attended Princeton. In his search to replace a lost faith, the student, like O'Neill tried the mysticism of the East.
