Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Edwin Markham

 

     

 

 

January 14, 1918

 

 

Mr. Edwin Markham,

92 Waters Avenue,

West New Brighton, N.Y.

 

 

Share mate, [Crowley’s handwriting over typewritten text: “Cher maître,”]

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law!

 

It has been very remiss of me not to write to you for so long. I have had a spell of creative work (of sorts) which has been keeping me divorced from my pajamas. You were kind enough to promise me a poem for the “International” and if you have one handy, I should really be very grateful to you if you would send it along.

     

If you have finished reading my “Equinox #7”, I should be very glad if you would let me have it back as I have for some time, promised to lend that particular volume to somebody else who is interested in the subject.

 

Love is the law, love under will!

 

With every best wish, I am,

 

Yours ever,

 

Aleister Crowley
