Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Sunday, 26 April 1942

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 34. Taurus/Water.

     

Edema in right leg marked and extensive.

     

Midnight emergency [Heroin]/4 not to count in total.

     

Fine day, but distressed over difficulty of fitting things in:

          

(1) Capital

(2) Next winter

(3) SUA

(4) oh, lots of silliness. I can only call it fretting, & am ashamed of myself.

     

Tot: 1 3/4 gr. [Heroin]: abject idiocy 3 at least needless.

     

MAS [Maurice A. Sutherland] bored me off the board. As soon as I have a winning position or combination he starts to mutter and grunt and let the clock go on.
