Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Saturday, 12 April 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 11.
Not too well at 6.30 A.M. when I woke.
After brekker [breakfast] heart got more & more truculent: took Digitalis mixture—first time in 3 weeks. Better.
After lunch, ill: nap with nightmare; laundryman woke me.
Another nap with a worse nightmare; woke to find heart really alarming.
Another Digitalis at 3.30.
Rested: 1/6 H.[eroin] at 4.15. Gradual return to norm. See note entered on April 6.
Day suddenly HOT.
X. [Grace M. Horton] well & happy in A.M. after lunch got worse progressively, started wild complaints—eg., that the maid had a nervous breakdown!!! She being as sane & cheerful a girl as I ever met. Those fits are clearly true melancholia. She was quite all right & charming an hour later.
