Introduction
“And such was his passion for Hierocles that he kissed him in a place which it is indecent even to mention…” (THE LIFE OF ANTONINUS HELIOGABALUS)
“But after all we are not children, not illiterate juvenile delinquents, not English public school boys who after a night of homosexual romps have to endure the paradox of reading the Ancients in expurgated versions”. (V. Nabokov, On a Book Entitled Lolita)
The short story The Needs of the Navy by Aleister Crowley is the only work by this author which I love. The story was published in the collected stories Snowdrops From A Curates Garden, Paris, 1904; as you know, the edition was destroyed by Britain censorship in 1926. Now you can take the opportunity to read the story:
