| Enter a femme fatale, in the form of a visiting fellow — a poet, all Pre-Raphaelite hair and vatic utterance. |
| It would seem that with the passing of the day's incidents the vatic fire in his mind burned more brightly. |
| Cankar's contemporary, Oton Župančič, wrote poetry in a somewhat lighter vein, but his vision of Slovene deracination and dispersion rivals Cankar's for vatic power. |

| I recoiled in horror though enchanted by her assailing tone and vatic peroration. |
| This is a little philosophical drama exploring the possibility, and the limits, of poetic vision, the vatic pretensions of poetry, and its potential narcissism. |
