Leah Hirsig Diary Entry Saturday, 11 October 1924
10.35 A.M. O.P.V. [Norman Mudd] slept with me.
(Friday) Yesterday—8.50 P.M. OPUS III[1] SILENCE.
Up early to-day—started preparations for going any where.
8.45 A.M. OPUS IV[1] SILENCE.
Remarks about this. This is the first of the 4 that was nearly real silence—
No. 1. I uttered consciously and deliberately. For the establishment of the New Civilization. No. 2. O.P.V. made some personal remark. No. 3. I said (the usual word). No. 4 We uttered nothing but at the moment of orgasm the word O M occurred to X [Norman Mudd] and after the sacrament I saw a blue [. . .] with a red flame very like penis.
There will be a 5th. Opus in this series. "And therein am I a babe in an egg."
1.58 by our clock.
OPUS V.[1] Interlude for Strength for Babalon.
(2.08 by street clock.)

(something that looks like a
C inverted—you know it goes
"Something about 'strong in war' "
Black and yellow mottled surface—like a wall paper—something, you know.
Then something like a pipe—not exactly like a pipe, you know.
Give me the pen and I'll write it. (Did so)
P.S. The letters appeared (visibly) not as one word; but one after the other.
