Is there any prose which is experimenting on the edge of the realm in which grand unreal symbols are allowed to be? I have never read a novel which actually does what I, perhaps pretentiously, want it to. Here are some examples of where it comes close:

- Homeric underworld
- Satanic elements of the Christian mythologies
- Blake's "ghost of a flea"
- Poe, sort of. Not really.
- Walhalla
- Faust
- Dunsany
- Talking cats in Kater Murr
- Monster & Dream sequences in Faerie Queene
- Miéville
