Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

die Lunae.

     

Am now very sensitive to aq[uarius] [Heroin]. For the past day or so a quite small dose has dropped me like a pistol-shot. This evening (with a little of my strength coming back for it to work on) it keeps me awake all night.

     

During day—After many adventures with a Tower—I identified it with the Eiffel Tower. Promptly I went up and pronounced the Law on 11 wave-lengths! Many other matters of deep import. I feel, for one thing, that the tide has turned for the present as it is written: "Let me go back into the world: yea, let me go back into the world"!.

     

In P.M. poor "hopeless" Dr Robinson called. He needs three years of doctoring to learn about men—and a course of Christian Science—and another to teach him to think without squealing—and another to face facts.

 

"Arrant" e.g. and arrant beggar = thorough - paka. Prob. fr. Errant.

     

Knight Errant = the most serious thorough-going kind of knight.
