Description
Clouds without Water is a poetry collection by Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), an English author, occult magician, mountaineer and founder of the religious philosophy of Thelema. Clouds without Water was one of many of Crowley's eccentric works published in his lifetime and was first issued in 1909. The title comes from a passage in Jude 1:13 which is quoted at the beginning of the book: Clouds they are without water; carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever
User reviews
LibraryThing member poetontheone
A volume of erotic poetry that both exalts and blasphemes the gods. Murder, death, enlightenment, and ecstasy are all intertwined. A few exceptional pieces but much of the verse is redundant and leaves the reader unfulfilled. Recommended for those interested in Crowley.
