Prospero Fontana (1512–1597) ... Symbolic Questions... 1574
Prospero Fontana's designs are often obscure in their iconography, their significance as reflections of quattrocento symbols and hieroglyphics have been analysed by Edgar Wind in several sections of Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance. These striking illustrations have been shown to have influenced Blake and Samuel Palmer after two centuries of neglect.

Austin Osman Spare ... Ugly Ecstasy ...Satyr...
from the Book of Ugly Ecstasy 1924 - Fulgur 1996
it would be sentimental to say that the figures in Ugly Ectasy and Automatic Drawings
are happy despite theirhideous appearances....in the words of WH Audens poem, 'In Memory of Sigmund Freud' -
Down among the lost people like Dante, down
To the stinking fosse where the injured
Lead the ugly life of the rejected.
Nevertheless, Spare signed off Automatic Drawing on a defiant and innuendo-laden note: "Great is he who pleasures this difficult life," he wrote, and "He has found wisdom who knows how to spend"*
*Victorian euphemism for ejaculation.
excerpt from Austin Osman Spare - The Life and Legend of London's Lost Artist

William Sharp, a.k.a. 'Fiona Macleod' & John Duncan...The Celtic Twilight
ETAIN
[Dreamily
I have heard. . . . I have dreamed. . . .I,
too, have heard,
Have sung . . . that song: O lordly ones that
dwell
In secret places in the hollow hills,
Who have put moonlit dreams into my mind
And filled my noons with visions, from afar
I hear sweet dewfall voices, and the clink,
The delicate silvery spring and clink
Of faery lances underneath the moon.

The delicate silvery spring and clink
Of faery lances underneath the moon.
