THE BOOK ''Clouds without Water'' was one of many of Crowley's eccentric works published in his lifetime and was first seen in 1909. The title comes from a passage in which is quoted at the beginning of the book:
As with many other books of Crowley such as '' The Scented Garden Of Abdullah '' and '' Alice, An Adultury '' this work was first published under the pseudonym "the Rev. C. Verey" and pretends to be the work of another hand. Within the introduction there is a claim the starkly esoteric poems were discovered as an anonymous manuscript and presented only as a means to condemn them. Given in the end of the book are notes humourously contemptuous of the text, Crowley sarcastically portraying a pious clergymen before praying to be freed of such "sin". CONTENTS EDITIONS
