Aldous Huxley - Antic Hay
Bantam Books A1560
Published 1953
New Bantam Edition 1957
Cover Artist: Baryé Phillips

"Dance the antic hay": To lead a hectic, pleasure-seeking life; to be a jet-setter, a hedonist. The hay was a lively English dance, somewhat like a reel. In an antic hay, the dancers wore masks of animal faces and moved with grotesque, uncouth gestures. The emphasis was on lustful and lecherous behaviour.
