Fascinating read on a unfinished and unpublished novel by Yeats soon after his involvement with Maude Gonne and
his magickal involvement with The Golden Dawn. Interesting little facts and conversations presented as fiction that help clarify Yeats experiences and involvement in Magick and those inside the Golden Dawn. Novel also presents Yeats search for meaning and his misconceptions about Christanity. Also presents some lesser known characters of The Golden Dawn and it's larger membership. A must read for anyone interested in Yeats occult ideas and experiences in his early years.
