Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Monday, 31 March 1941

 

 

[I Ching Hexagram] 29.

     

On wet nights one can always go and sleep under a tree.

     

Most of the day a truly abominable gale.

     

Did lots & lots of shopping.

     

Laid in hootch & similar necessities; also the luxury of half a pound of fudge!!

     

Chess v.[ersus] Mrs. Holloway 3-1. The lost game was over-confidence in a brilliancy ending—one precaution more & I was safe. Moral (as usual!): Look at the board now & then!

     

Drinks with Frank Clark at the Abbey.

     

“The Gordons” (?) blew up with a loud explosion of screams.
