“He had heard about talking to plants in the early seventies, on Radio Four, and thought it was an excellent idea. Although talking is perhaps the wrong word for what Crowley did.
What he did was put the fear of God into them.

The plants were the most luxurious, verdant, and beautiful in London. Also the most terrified.”
