Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to The Continental Times
[Undated: circa 11 October 1915]
To the Editor:
I notice in your brief introduction to my article “The End of England”—(July 26th) a reference to a “ridiculous proposal” of mine to take down Cologne Cathedral and rebuild it at Rheims. You wrong me!
This was only one of a series of letters which I wrote to the London Press in order to find out if there was anything too idiotic for them to print.
There was not!
I am your obedient servant,
Aleister Crowley.
I am sorry to have misinterpreted Mr. Crowley’s somewhat over-subtle irony. But considering what was written in London at that time, there was really no way of telling the sheep from the goats. Lit. Ed.
