It's like a 15 yr old just discovered Beowulf and Paradise Lost for the first time in their life. Just a stream of cookie cutter couplets tied to satanic imagery. God (no wait) MOTHER OF EVIL AND SIN, I hate the Crowley circle. I've yet to read anything they did that the modernists didn't do better.
Edit: sorry, I overreacted—the poems become more varied, in form and content, as the book progresses. There's a lot of naturalistic imagery, an entwining of planetary forms with sensuous desires. It's thoroughly 18th century romantic.God (sorry) BY HELA'S DEAD HALLS, I'm bored out of my mind, still.
