The perfect lover is calm and equable ; storms of thunder, quakings of the earth, losses of goods, punishment from great men, none of these things cause him to rise from his divan, or to remove the silken tube of the rose-perfumed huqqa from his mouth. I can even take pleasure with Laila, O no longer jealous one ! When thou wast away from me, I was unable to regard her or her companions (the thunder-smitten bitches2 !) without excessive sick- ness.

Virgo is an earthy sign, and is referred especially to Corn, so that the back‐ ground of the card is a field of wheat. Virgo represents the lowest, most receptive, most feminine form of earth, and forms the crust over Hades. Yet not only is Virgo ruled by Mercury, but Mercury is exalted therein.

…ofound insight and its great worth. The letters that comprise this volume were written fairly close to the end of Crowley's life here on earth. (It seems difficult at this writing to realize that he was born almost a century ago-in 1875!) Some critics are inclined to believe that he had become feebleminded toward the end, a condition which some felt to be due to the "softening" of his brain through his use of drugs. He was troubled by emphysema it is true, brought about by many years of asthma and heavy smoking. Heroin had long before been pres…
