				Crowley: | 
				     A third 
				symptom of the disease of the same individual is brought out in 
				my poem, "To A New Born Child". The editor protested that it was 
				rather rough luck on a kid to predict such misfortunes for it. 
				In other words, he had not the remotest idea what the poem was 
				about. Considering that this particular editor is quite justly 
				reputed to be far and away the best man in England in the matter 
				of appreciating first-class work, it is perfectly 
				incomprehensible to me that he should be such an arrant 
				blockhead.
