    Looking for such a thing as that there would have you going in circles,
but at least it would be looking for something other than anti-Semitism,
elitism, or occultism.  Try Tibetan Buddhism, but elsewhere.
    Yeat's gyres, however, have not only a cyclical dimension both also a
vertical one. In this sense they may point him in the direction of his
Fenian druidical ancestors with their timekeeping megalithic structures and
perennial arboreal adorations; and their smiths were the first to put the
iron tyre around the wooden wheel. See his "A Vision" and Robert Graves'
"The White Goddess", the latter for the Goddess, La Donna, as Cavalcanti saw
her and as poetic muse "but never an ape or a bear".

    "Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an
attempt to popularize art." -Pound, letter to Mary Moore

    "Now I know foolishness is necessary in all our designs, so that they
    are realized, awkwardly and incompletely." -Czeslaw Milosz

-Moyer
