Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 23 April 1920
I note that one great disadvantage of having only two wives is that when one gets sick, it throws a strain on the other. I am also glad to observe that one can count on a two hours' Visual Opera every night; the Sun never repeats Himself. Tonight His shafts, from behind deep bars of blue-grey, fell in front of the mountains and dissolved them, so that one could not tell them from the clouds, except by one's memory of the sky-line.
9.00 p.m. For the last forty minutes I have been at Ceremonial Magick again. My memory was very faulty, but oh! it did make me feel good! It has been a great day for work. I did a lot to the new picture, 'The Mutts on the Mountain'; worked on the 'Lesbians', varnished 'Beauty', [Ninette Shumway] repainted the 'Fishman', putting him in a whore, as he was lonely; started a little panel of a girl with a fan under an olive tree, and made a drawing of Beauty.
