I'm sorry I had to stray from the blog's current main topic, but I found this really strange tidbit of information I hadn't posted about yet which I thought might be interesting.
I was just looking through Aleister Crowley's "Diary of a Drug Fiend" which I hadn't read in a long time when I noticed that they make a reference to a "Julius Cmsar" in the book.
It sounds to me like what Lamus is trying to say is that "Julius Cmsar" would have found Peter's remark about the workshop humorous.
I couldn't help, but to notice that they spelled it "Cmsar" which sounds like "Seh-sar" the way my name is pronounced in Spanish "Hoo-lio Seh-sar" / "Julio Cesar".
"The events had been of an ordinary and insignificant
character, and yet he had given a value to each one.
He made life taste like it does when one is using heroin
and cocaine, yet he did it without actual extravagance.
I could understand how it was that he had his unique
reputation for leading a fantastic life, and yet how
no one could put a finger on any particular exploit as
extraordinary in itself.
I picked myself slowly together, and, after removing
a few thorns from my bare legs, was sufficiently master
of myself to say :-
" So this is the workshop ?"
" Once again, Sir Peter," replied Lamus, " your
intuition has proved itself infallible. And once again
your incomparable gift of expression has couched the
facts in a tersely epigrammatic form, which Julius Cmsar
and Martial might despair of editing."
He opened the door of the house, repeating his old
formula :-
" Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." - Diary of a Drug Fiend
