Top five is too hard because I don’t think it’s fair to my favorites to put them in a hierarchy.

Dunsany, huysman, Balzac, Nerval, Thomas brown, Blackwood, Borges, Dante, kafka, Milton, Goethe, Machen, Robert Burton, Johannes Valentinus Andreae, Lucius Apuleius, Virgil Swinburne, verlaine, Poe, Baudelaire, blake, li-he, al-hallaj, angelus, Ovid, Petrarch, Horace, Edmund Spenser, Chaucer, Shakespeare John Keats, Mallarme
