![]() Pessoa Plural―A Journal of Fernando Pessoa Studies, No. MCNEILL, Patrícia Silva, "Sacred Geometry of Being: Pessoa's Esoteric Imagery and the Geometry of Modernism" (2014). This is an important contribution to Yeats scholarhip in general and a landmark in studies of A Vision." Throughout, the different contributors take a variety of stances with regard to texts and the automatic script. The final five essays look at contextual themes, whether of collaboration and influence-between husband, wife, and spirits, or with another poet-or the gender perspective within these interrelations, the historical context of Golden-Dawn occultism or the broader political context of fascism in the 1920s and 1930s. ![]() A further three essays include an examination of the elusive Thirteenth Cone, a consideration of astrological features in the automatic script, and a view of the poetry within A Vision. The first six essays present explications of broader themes in A Vision itself: the system's general principles incarnate life and the Faculties discarnate life and the Principles how Yeats relates his own work to other philosophical approaches and his consideration of the historical process. A Vision is all-encompassing in its stated aims and scope, and it invites a wide range of approaches-as demonstrated in the essays collected here, written by the foremost scholars in the field. Yeats's "A Vision": Explications and Contexts is the first volume of essays devoted to A Vision and the associated system developed by W. The third section deals with the most important findings of the research. ![]() The Indian myth takes part in reshaping and building the context and structure of the poem to give a meaning to their atmosphere of the poem itself. The second part analyzes texts from Occidental selected poems. Then, it tackles the relation between myth and literature, beside the way in which myth becomes an adherent part of human heritage. Also, it concentrates on the two Indian myths kinds, namely the Hindu and the Buddhist. The first one concentrates on the definition and concept of myth, its origin, its development, and its different types. Four poems have been chosen: T S Eliot's The Waste Land, William Butler Yeats's Supernatural Songs, Anashuya and Vijaya and Ralph Waldo Emerson's Brahma. Myth overtakes all the borders to become an international heritage for human civilization. At the same time, it penetrates all the various aspects of human life. The concept of myth and its origin is somehow shadowy and ambiguous. The current study deals with the impact and influence of the Indian myth on western literature in general and on the British and American poetry in particular. Furthermore, among the Belgian periodicals of his time, I found the recurrence of the words “magnétisme”, “magnétique” (notably in La Wallonie and La Jeune Belgique), which recurred also in the words of the writers Hector Chainaye and Albert Mockel, certainly known by de Groux. I will read his notes in relation with some of his paintings and lithographs realised in collaboration with writers (such as Remy de Gourmont), trying to define, if possible, the paradigm of his idea of energy, magnetism, mesmerism and parallel worlds. The discovery of some unedited notes of the artist helped me to verify my initial speculations. They lead me to suppose eventual connections with the study of magnetism and mesmerism, but also with telepathy. The recurrence of mysterious signs and animals together with his unique technique, made of quick whirling brushes, needs to be investigated. ![]() This proposal aims to explore an unknown aspect of the artist, tied to his thought and (para)scientific knowledge. Even if he was not included among the esoteric artists and he did not take part in Rosicrucian ventures, his complex personality, the richness of his relations, together with his deep culture and the Wagnerism, lead nowadays scholars to the urge of examining his work in the widest manner. While his cultural relationships are in part investigated, together with his collaborations, less has been said about his thought and his aesthetics, usually dismissed as pre-expressionistic or expression of an alienated one. Even if at his time he was acclaimed as a genial artist and received a very good success in France, Belgium and Italy, he suffered a kind of damnatio 6 memoriae. Magnetism and mesmerism in Henry de Groux: Reflections from some inedited notes and correspondence in his work Laura Fanti (Université Libre de Bruxelles) The art of the Belgian artist Henry de Groux (1866-1930) is a recent discovery.
