The Confessions of Aleister Crowley

“I walked over to the Absinthe House in my shirt sleeves on one occasion without being in the slightest degree aware of the fact. My best work was an essay ‘The Green Goddess’, descriptive of the Old Absinthe House itself in particular, and the atmosphere of the quarter in general. It may be regarded as the only rival to ‘The Heart of Holy Russia’ for literary excellence and psychological insight."

— ALEISTER CROWLEY
