Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 20 August 1920
9.20 p.m. New idea for film, 'The Astrologer', but Leah [Leah Hirsig] has fever again, so I must find other fish to fry, unless I make an outline of the plot.
Trying a new method of taking cocaine; larger doses at longer intervals. Last time I had an hour or so of impatient nervousness; to-night none.
10.00 p.m. I start work.
11.00. Revised the Star-secret poem. I'm working with astonishing slowness; I'm intense and costive, keenly enjoying every moment, and holding to ideas like a bull-dog. Now a bull-dog with his teeth in a monkey's haunch, is not a bullfinch. I worry and growl. So I'll try to sketch my 'Astrologer' plot.
