Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 15 June 1924

 

 

Sun. June 15th.

     

Oath.

The belladonna in your eyes

The 'coco' in your nose

The rouge upon your lips—I rise,

Though not upon my toes.

The hashish in your abdomen

The morphine in your thighs

The ether on your breath—I ken

Love's last subtilities

The fascination does not last

Still—nail your colours to the mast.
