"The Star and the Garter" is a work that is similar to "Alice, an Adultery", only this time the dilemma of the poet represents Crowley upon his wife discovering a prostitute's garter belt in his room. This marks the last time until his divorce that Crowley romanticised unbridled sex. "Rosa Mundi" was one of a trilogy of poems written for her (Rose Kelly) published under the pseudonym "H. D. Carr" after Katie Carr, the wife of French artist and sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) who supplied water-colouring to the editions' sleeves. His works were also honoured by Crowley in the following "Rodin in Rime" ("Rosa Inferni" itself appears in "Gargoyles", whilst "Rosa Coelli" was published possibly after this volume in 1907).
