I wrote a 369-page dissertation on his works, primarily the Autobiography , while at Syracuse University nearly a quarter of a century ago. A religion professor there, having heard I was writing on Powys and believing I must share the author's brand of sensuous mysticism, confided to me he regularly had visions of St. Augustine atop the MONY Tower in downtown Syracuse. In fact he was once transported back to the Baths of Sozius to witness Augustine vanquishing the Manichean heretics in debate. My problem may be that I'm not more mystical. I don't even have a good fetish.
