Aleister Crowley
Image
The few love affairs which had come my way had been rather silly and sordid. They had not revealed the possibilities of love in fact I had thought it a somewhat overrated pleasure, a brief and brutal blindness with boredom and disgust hard on its heels.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
