- Crowley begins
writing his first poetry. One of his earliest efforts,
Death of a Drunkard, reveals that his exposure to poetry
had been mainly confined to Brethren hymns:
Just what the parson
had told me when young:
Just what the people
in chapel have sung:
Wine is a mocker,
strong drink is raging.
