T.S. Eliot, See Harris’ reference in “Character and Philosophic Myth” to “the humanisation of the terrible divine” p. 7.
T.S. Eliot, See Black Marsden, Father Marsden and the sinister guide Hose in Companions of the Day and Night, Marsden-Prince in Da Silva da Silva’s Cultivated Wilderness, and possibly the “daemon of conscience” in The Tree of the Sun. There is a pun on Mary’s name Holiday/holy day. These are compared in the novel to the automatic writing of Yeats’s wife which gave rise to A Vision (p. 82).

Geoffrey Tout-Smith Note also that Angelos and Eudoxia are often referred to by their initials, A. and E., which suggests Adam and Eve. I am grateful to my student Nathalie Schraepen for pointing this out to me as well as many subtleties in the novel. This is also suggested by the variations on a single name: Eudoxia/Eddie/Eadith for the protagonist, Edward and Eadie for his parents.
