Medusa.. "upon its lips and eyelids seems to lie"

[ILLUMINATINPS]

Ok, now that its over and we wait for the solution, how many of you picked up on the Percy Shelley connection in the Epilogue? We were stuck between Crouch Hill (ill rise up to stand), and "lips and eyelids", which was a line from a Percy Shelley poem about Medusa. Ironically enough, there was a Shelley Close St just near Crouch Hill.  Never amounted to much thought. Can't begin to say how much searching for Medusa statues, shields, zodiac sculptures, painted skies etc.. we searched for.


What are you guys/gals thoughts on the Medusa connection??

We did pick up on the significance of Medusa, but missed the Shelley reference. That's a good one.

My champ of a sister found the reference to the Shelley poem a while ago. I've seen the wicker Medusa head in Oxford on my google searches about a hundred times haha

Medusa plays to the grand plan of the puzzle.
