FTP, name this 1925 book that discusses the author's theory of gyres, which propounds a bizarre theory of history and was written by William Butler Yeats.
This book opens with a "packet" for another author, who is shown walking out at night and feeding cats with pieces of meat from his pockets.  The book itself begins by quoting Empedocles on Discord and Concord before discussing Simplicius's commentary on Empedocles, and notes that Flaubert wanted to write a story called "The Spiral" which would have employed a similar concept.  That opening section, "The Great Wheel," includes a discussion of the 28 Incarnations, which correspond to the Phases of the Moon.  The idea for the book emerged on October 24, 1917, four days after the poet's marriage to a woman who practiced automatic writing.
