W.B.YEATS had a visionary system which "explained" the Aesthetics of his poety and offered a method for studying character types. I'm sure that Yeats was familiar with the Tarot and the I Ching. as well as the more common astrological system. WHat interests me is the way that "gyres" seem to also encompass event horizons in later Physics.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)


The Coming of Wisdom with Time

Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
