Comments by Aleister Crowley: |
We wandered back to Boleskine, after arranging with a doctor named Percival Bott to come and stay with us and undertake the accouchement. I asked my Aunt Annie to preside over the household, and an old friend of Gerald’s (Kelly) and mine, Ivor Back, at this time a surgeon at St. George’s, to make up the house party. Ivor Back is one of the most amusing companions possible, to those who can stand him. He knows a good deal about literature and had published in The Hospital magazine some of the poems in which I had celebrated various diseases. I dedicated my In Residence, a collection of my undergraduate verses, to him, and he collaborated with me to a certain extent in the composition of various masterpieces of the lighter kind. — The Confessions of Aleister Crowley. New York, NY. Hill and Wang, 1969. Page 405. |

Reviews: |
And what shall one say of Mr. Aleister Crowley’s “In Residence”? His serious verse has given evidence of marked individuality and a very considerable, if undisciplined imagination. But this is that intolerable thing—an unhumorous man at play. If Wordsworth had wooed the muse of Calverley, the result might have been somewhat like this. —The Academy and Literature, 3 December 1904. ______________________________
Oh Crowley, name for future fame! (Do you pronounce it Croully?) Whate’er the worth of this your mirth It reads a trifle foully. Cast before swine these pearls of thine. O, great Aleister Crōlley “Granta” to-day, not strange to say, Repudiates them wholly —Granta, date unknown. ______________________________
Mr Aleister Crowley, the all-embracing quality of whose genius we described as far as the little space we had at our disposal permitted us to do justice to a theme in reality co-extensive, if not more, with the universe itself, has published, under the title of ‘A don’s guide to Cambridge,’ a collection of those pearls (his own words) which in his day made the literature of the University what it was. At the end are advertisements of Mr Crowley’s own works: these we have already mentioned with admiration. There are also some other advertisements which may be read with delectation. It is published by Mr Elijah Johnson. Our notice of the ‘Masterpieces’ themselves may well be ‘tacit as it is unnecessary.’ —The Cambridge Review, 8 December 1904.
