A theme that I love from Revelations and this piece (and one that speaks to your background as a scientist) - the vertiginous self-doubt of pursuing a mystery and questioning whether or not there even is a mystery in the first place (and in the process questioning whether you have begun to lose your grasp on reality).

Bravo, Borges would like this one I think. Ok now it's time for me to write that Borges-inspired short story I've been putting off...

Are you familiar with Ramon Llull? I got a copy of DIALOGOS: Ramon Llull's Method of Thought and Artistic Practice. Incredible resource to supplement Yates. You also might like the work of Michel Beaujour on rhetoric.
