Establishing a Context for P.K. Page’s Interest in Eastern Religions: When Papier-Mâché Angels Descend among the Metals and the Flowers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This essay demonstrates that the desires for selfhood and wholeness propel P.K. Page’s poetic vision. In an attempt to establish a context for the studies that focus on Page’s later interest in Eastern religions - especially Sufism - the article investigates the spiritual principles that drive the poet’s early works, with particular attention paid to her second volume of poetry, The Metal and the Flower (1954). Although the volume depicts a spiritual drought in the postlapsarian world that hinders its individuation, glimmers of the active imagination provide a vehicle for redemption. Appropriating Jungian symbology, the study argues that, for Page, the imagination is a divine faculty whose figures hint at the completeness embodied in the archetype of the God-image. A thorough investigation of the interrelationship between the paradigms of the self and the God-image reveals the spiritual implications of self-actualization as they pertain to the individual and to the collective progression of humankind towards individuation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
