Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 21 July 1941
[I Ching hexagram] 56.
10-11 Avonmore Rd. (?) Mr. Parsons.
Take inventories. See lines 6 & 3—told him “sell all but books.”
Woke 2.10 from very wonderful dream: cunt, buggery, cocaine, beautiful places & things—real tamasha.
Letter from Yorke [Gerald Yorke]!!! “Strangers” indeed! Replied at length.
3 P.M. Michaud [Jean Michaud]: take Temperance [Temperance: A Tract for the Times] & dummy of Thumbs Up! .... £1.1.0. Make him find me a composer. Only 10/6 & forgot about composer.
Met girl from Leatherhead: her voice put me off. Recognized, too late, she was Lu. Missed opportunity: really a punishable offence. Excuse: was in a mood not to do anything e.g. couldn’t get a drink, though I’d gone out on purpose. Also, obsessed by Yorke—thoughts.
