- Crowley leaves Tredegar Park, Newport at 12.46 and arrives back home at about 4 p.m. [45] 

- Crowley inscribes a copy of his book Mortaldello to Viscount Tredegar [Evan Morgan].

 

"Was it Poe who said that modesty was a crime? It is: you have impoverished 20 years of my life by not letting me know that you were a poet--and α at that!

Your preface to The City of Canals knocked me sideways: to think that you had been working on the secret meaning of the vowels and on internal rimes[?], astonishing parallelism of technical achievement based on intuitive understanding.

People called me the Last of the Elizabethans; happy am I to know that so supreme a period has not yet failed of an heir.

So here is my book: your own city and your own age as I lived it.

The hour of proletarian prude and pedant will soon pass: A new Renaissance will honour us, its Morning Stars!

In joyous comradeship

Aleister

 

The smokeless perfumed torch,

admiration without envy,

of

Aleister Crowley
