The Candle of Vision
by George William Russell
On This Page
Description
Discusses concepts that anticipated the modern human potential movement by half a century. Russell taught "creative visualization", and believed that the creative powers of imagination could become a passport to other worlds. This study of the true nature of visionary exploration will appeal to the artist and the poet, as well as the mystic.Tags

A brief and genuine take on visions by an Irish poet. Both Dion Fortune and Israel Regardie having referred to this title, I looked it up and was not let down.
A unique and poetic mystical vision
by George W.Russell, a man who walked
his own way but was remembered by
Yeats' wife as 'the only saint you or I
will ever know.'

The anecdote abt AE WBY and the plums is telling. what is it abt. plums? Remember WCW's poem about that delicious fruit. AE shows up in the library as Stephen gives his 'lecture' on Shakespeare.
