The Befana is always late...

Didn't finish the more ambitious projects I was planning on uploading for y'all, but when is that news?

Now as at all times I can see in the mind's eye

That was very nicely done. The 'illuminations' as well as Yeats' poetry. I intend to look at his work once I return my current borrowings to the library.

Yeats has Asian influences both Indian and Japanese

overt and implicit, - he was a big fan of Rabindranath Tagore.

Of course I know that; hell, I've been dreaming of years of writing a fantasy saga about magicians from Eire and Bharat uniting to overthrow the Ingrezi overlords, with archmage analogues of Yeats and Rabi Thakur (that's how his name is pronounced in Bangla). Rabindranath even started an experimental school and college called Santinekatan (the university is called Visya Bharati, and is partially funded by the royalties of Rabindranath's own songs - which is the equivalent of having Columbia funded by Dylan's royalties). The Hope Diamond would be involved, naturally.

well, excuse us parochial Americans

in our ignorance! ;) And that would be a fun read, give Kara Dalkey a run for her money, and shake up the whole Occidenicentric genre.

Ooh, the prettiness

I very much like the green tones of the colour illumination.

Is "Oil and Blood" too long to fit on a page like that?

not at all

[bellatrys]

it's a lot shorter, infact, &so would leave more room for graphics. (Sailing To Byzantium, however, or a lot of others, would require at least a two-page spread.)
