Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Friday, 12 February 1943

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 4.

     

Fragment from the Silly ad:

 

They dropped a bomb at Random (near Umbrage, which we took)

And Ga-ga-garvin wrote it in his big best-selling book:

The “Raiders Past” had sounded, & the guns began to speak;

The bomb was dropped precisely in the Middle of Next Week

The Home Guard stewed her grandson a delicious cuppa tea

Because he dug for Victory, & sported the VC [Victoria Cross]

And Alice said to Alma: “With these Canajan swines

It ain’t so much advantage to ‘ave Interior Lines”

But Alma said to Alice: “Oh Cripes! they’ve rationed pants

I’m bloody well encircled, and fighting on Two Fronts.”
