Orig. pub. by G. Braziller, NY, 1963.
'Henderson and Oakes trace the images and patterns of spiritual initiation in religious rituals and myths of resurrection, poems and epics, the cycles of nature, and universal human responses in art and dreaming. The authors dramatize the metamorphosis from a common experience of death's inevitablility into a transcendent freedom beyond the individual's limitations.'
