Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Wednesday, 6 June 1923

 

 

Die Mercury

 

Midnight. Adoration to Khephra. must put down the rules for my new variation of Piquet,[1] lest it be lost to the world.

 

4.22 a.m. Woke with a bad spasm of coughing. But the point is that I would have sworn that I had not been to sleep as I must surely have been.

     

Note that the ‘Cliché’is impure language in any sense of the word. Each word, sovereign in itself, becomes servile by being harnessed constantly to another.
