NEW POETRY.

“Hail Mary.” By Allister [sic] Crowley. Wieland and Co.; 1s.

The poems by Allister Crowley are not without a certain lyrical sweetness. Devotion to the Mother of God is the subject of all the poems, and it seems odd coming from one who is understood to be a worshipper at strange, exotic, and forbidden shrines. But the artistic temperament is doubtlessly accountable—for the worship as for the poems.
