Comments
by
Aleister
Crowley: |
I went to
Venice in May, breaking the homeward journey at Pallanza, where
I wrote Household Gods, a poetical dramatic sketch. It is
a sort of magical allegory, full of subtle ironies and
mystifications; almost the only thing of its kind I have ever
done—which perhaps accounts for my having a sneaking affection
for it.
