Mary Butts Diary Entry

Monday, 7 March 1921

 

 

 

It is not anything but to discover one’s own will and do it (the real conclusion Freud will not admit).

     

The magical chain winds on. “Here beside my Paris fine” I see it unwind and stir.

     

When Cecil [Cecil Maitland] and John’s [John Rodker] and my time came, the people (and the places) came too. Badbury Rings, Tony, Aleister Crowley who is in Cecil’s part and for me Nina [Nina Hamnett] and Paris. Also Joyce and the interpretation of Mr. Bloom [in Ulysses].

     

I am now going to live the best part of my life.
