Dymer

by C. S. (Clive Staples) Lewis

"Dymer" by C. S. Lewis is a narrative poem published in 1926. This epic follows a young man who murders his lecturer and escapes a totalitarian state mockingly called "The Perfect City." Wandering into the wilderness, Dymer encounters mysterious figures, including an unseen lover in an abandoned mansion. His actions spark revolution behind him, while supernatural forces pull him toward a devastating confrontation with a monstrous offspring born from his union with a divine being.
