Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 16 April 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 34.
Chess v.[ersus] Adler 7-3. The 3 means a good refreshing nap.
Lovely fine day, but somehow I got very tired walking up from Jack’s Lane.
Patient much better—maugre what follows.
Tried to get X.'s [Grace M. Horton] vitam sexualem. As suspected, a tragedy: period, East lynne. She went off with a M.D. who had a wife & child: husband, not caring a hoot, raises hell. She gave him up, & in the end he died. All this muddled with a tale of her son bringing a girl along; he & girl couldn’t bear each other, but she & girl got on A.1. All very confused.
10.30 P.M. Thought day over. No. She wrecked the whole electric apparatus in her room—and bathroom!!!
