Basic Info| Name: | Eblis O'Shaughnessy |
|---|
BioPage 8 panel 4: The name "Eblis" derives from Arabic myth. Eblis was a
spirit of fire, an angel. (He is referred to in Sura 18 of the Qu'ran.)
When Allah made the first man out of clay, Eblis refused to bow down before
him as commanded, and so was cast out of heaven and became an enemy of
humankind. The usage here is thus an irony.
"O'Shaughnessy" derives from Arthur W. E. O'Shaughnessy, a mid-19th-
century poet. Most of his work is deservedly obscure, but one poem, entitled
"Ode", has achieved a modest fame. Its theme is that art and dreams shape the
world, and that poets and musicians are the world's true kings. It has thus
been understandably popular with poets and musicians, and has been set to
music several times.
