About This Item
New York: Gordon Press, 1974. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. HB - 1st. Print (Limited to 200 Copies) - NF (Gold Gilt on Red Boards) / No DJ as issued - "It may seem strange that, despite the yearning after sanctification, which is the keynote of these works, I never lost sight of what seems on the surface the incompatible idea of justification by sin. "Jezebel" and the other poems in that volume prove this point. It is as if my unconscious were aware that every act is a sacrament and that the most repulsive rituals might be in some ways the most effective. The only adequate way of overcoming evil was to utilize it fully as a means of grace. Religion was for me a passionate reality of the most positive kind. Virtue is etymologically manhood. Virility, creative conception and enthusiastic execution were the means of attainment. There could be no merit in abstention from vice. Vice indeed is vitium, a flaw or defect." The Confessions of Aleister Crowley..
