Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 6 October 1921
Slept well, but am tired this morning.
10.15 P.M. Painted a bit; then settled down to dictate "ONE BETTER". I am indebted to Leah [Leah Hirsig] for insisting upon my realizing my original idea of reversal. The reader is led to think himself clever for discovering that A and B are really C and D, and he only finds out with the very last word of the story that they are A and B after all.
I have also to thank AIWAZ who put the general idea and setting in my mind 2 nights ago, when I asked Him to give me "either Sleep or a Story", after finishing "The Vampire of Vespuccia".
