| -Two 19th century symbols, spleen represented the malevolence of a person and ideal was in simple terms, goodness, courtesy, altruism. Spleen essentially opposed ideal but also helped temper it. De Profundis: "From the Depths," an essay/ letter written by Oscar Wilde when he lived in France after his imprisonment. Ascension: the rising of Jesus into heaven; the 40th day after Easter celebrating this. Circumradiant Dawn: a sunrise with all-surrounding light? The Cardinal Sin: the chief order of transgressions, insinuating the seven noted by Thomas Aquinas. Mesmerism: hypnotism, word coined from F.A. Mesmer, a turn of the 19th century German physician. Enigma of the Absolute Advent: origins traced to Latin meaning "to come;" the time including the four Sundays before Christmas. Avatar: from Hinduism, a god's descent to Earth in bodily form.
