Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Wednesday, 6 August 1941

 

 

[I Ching hexagram] 17.

     

Everett here, settling illustrations for The V sign.

     

Marta [Allen] here: wanted (and even expected, poor fish, I agree with Stalin) to be treated as a lady and paid as a prostitute. I opposed logical objections.

     

8 Sutherland [Maurice A. Sutherland] here. A delightful evening: much talk of V campaign. (Low attacked it, by the way, in a cartoon to-night) & interesting chess. I proved to him that the Catalan plan was not so dilatory as he thought. He produced a very good-looking defence, which went to dust. Collapsed almost of its own accord!
