References in Literature
In the sidenotes of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, there is a reference to "the Platonic Constantinopolitan, Michael Psellus" as an authority on "the invisible inhabitants of this planet, neither departed souls nor angels".
The British poet Christopher Middleton includes a poem about Psellus in his 1986 collection, Two Horse Wagon Going By, 'Mezzomephistophelean Scholion'.

Famous quotes containing the word literature:
“I am not fooling myself with dreams of immortality, know how relative all literature is, don’t have any faith in mankind, derive enjoyment from too few things. Sometimes these crises give birth to something worth while, sometimes they simply plunge one deeper into depression, but, of course, it is all part of the same thing.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
