The Writing on the Ground

Notes On A Speech Made

 in the Course of a Debate

on “Honesty in Love.”

 

 

A pamphlet by E.G.O. [Elizabeth Gwendolen Otter]

     

State (a) of this pamphlet contains two poems by Aleister Crowley: “A Slim Gilt Soul” and “A Galahad in Gomorrah”. The second edition of this pamphlet omitted “A Galahad in Gomorrah”. This piece is a review of an 1896 volume of verse by Lord Alfred Douglas and T.W.H. Crosland’s “The First Stone” which was a scathing response in poetry to parts of Oscar Wilde’s “De Profundis” before it was published. This piece is in defense of Oscar Wilde but was omitted in the second edition because it was considered libellous.
