From page 292 of the book: "...What Revenant had remembered was a portion of A Glastonbury Romance, from which I had described a short scene toward the end, but the essence of which had occurred all throughout that great novel. It was a scene where an evil momentary wish of one character had left the Corporeal and entered the Ethereal. Then it lingered above the heads of the other characters and, given the nature of John Powys' mythology or pantheology, the thought had enjoyed a life of its own. It had, by the end of the scene, transmuted itself into a physical act which had wreaked havoc on the characters in a brutal crime. When I told Revenant of the book he was interested in hearing more...."
