Wilfred Talbot Smith Diary Entry

[comment by Aleister Crowley to Smith's Diary entry and his attraction to both Emily Talbot Smith and Katherine Talbot.]

 

 

There was a brother in Madras who slept for 3 weeks with a mother and daughter, and had a splendid time with no mental torture at all. Why take these idiotic problems so seriously? To do so is to make yourself lower than the brutes. They never worry "Shall I? Shan't I?" They do what they will. The only trouble is when two cocks fight for the same hen; and this is fun, because it's honest fighting. It's stupid, though, because any hen can keep 25 cocks amused.
