Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Saturday, 20 November 1909
[See Introduction to The Vision and the Voice for background information] [Map of Crowley's travel through Algeria]
Arrived at Talblat (Hôtel de l'Oasis, of course) Rather footsore, and the remains of catarrh, indigestion, etc.
The hills are all rotten shale, just sufficiently covered with scrub and coarse grass to give a pleasant appearance in mass. In detail there is literally nowhere to sit down.
There are some fine trees—yellow and green.
Neuburg's [Victor B. Neuburg] clumsiness and boorishness were rather trying; but his murderous attack on me was easily frustrated.
This march is 32 miles in all, 24 of them uphill—a long and not too interesting grind.
