Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 1 August 1938

 

 

[I Ching Hexagram] 2.

     

A really delightful day. (N.B. Exactly in quality as the days of Lea in Washington Square.)

     

Brilliant weather.

     

Tzaba [Frieda Harris] rang up: I feel that Cornwall will be arranged.

     

Maisie [Clarke] to lunch & dinner. Opus.[1] Success to Cornwall Exp[editio]n. N.B. The snake posture as of old. She left at 9: & I read Schopenhauer "a fine intellect is no better than a dull one if it be disturbed"—by noise (Schopenhauer) or by worry (AC).
