"The loving cup of strawberry ice-cream soma was passed from hand to hand and with the formula 'I drink to my annihilation', twelve times quaffed. Then to the accompaniment of the synthetic orchestra the First Solidarity Hymn was sung.

As swiftly as thy shining Flivver

(Brave New World, Huxley, p70)
