This was later included in the Section "Art and Methaphysics" in the religious-philosophical Journal "Eon, Anthology of Old and New Culture" (#3, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 1993). The essay that gave the name to the book looks at the enigma of Poetry which Lorca called "the riddle of Sphinx waiting for Oedipus to solve it".
