Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 25 February 1924
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.
