Question
In a story by this author, one character is “drowned in a tide of green and blue and bronze feathers” after trying to strike a man with an alembic. That story’s narrator dances atop an image of Christ with an inhuman, soul-sucking woman who has “black lilies in her hair.” As explained in a “Reader’s Guide” by Neil Mann, this author characterized God as the “Thirteenth Cone” in a work that presents a wheel on which four “faculties” and 28 “incarnations” are related to phases of the moon. A character in this author's story (*) “Rosa Alchemica” titles a poem in which a woman remarks, “My wretched dragon is perplexed.” The second essay in Axel’s Castle discusses this author's mystical tract A Vision, which borrows from the automatic writing of his wife George Hyde-Lees and posits “double gyres.” For 10 points, name this author of “Michael Robartes and the Dancer” and a poem beginning, “Turning and turning in the widening gyre.” ■END■
