It seems to me that Navarth's poetry (in Palace of Love etc.)
and the character of Navarth seem to be based on the real poet
Gérard de Nerval (France, middle last century).
This was the Surrealist poet famous for walking often through
Paris leading a lobster (alive and well) on a leash.
Unfortunately, I don't know his work well enough to decide.
Patrick Dusoulier, would you mind commenting here?
Or anybody else knowledgable on this?
