Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 24 March 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 10.
There are two ways of interlacing trigrams; thus P. & Earth can give 6 or 37. The ruins of my mind give one last shudder as they collapse. Well, that gives another pairing 5 & 6 with 37 & 38. So what?——I move the adjournment.
Ham [Gerald Hamilton] at Cafe de Paris when bomb fell. It killed Ken Johnson right in front of him.
Decided to list & send my laundry at last!
On way to telephone, found their van by the road side—learnt that they had been bombed!
Chess v.[ersus] Roberts 5-0. There is now no real opposition to me in the club, no one is Alpha at all, capable of genuine original play. Roberts was runner-up in local Championship: knows some book—& no more.
