Why was this removed?

I asked why this got removed, but I have a couple more relevant questions in case this gets un-deleted:

  1. Was The Son Of Lancelot by Charles Williams, which is a poem about blood and hunger and birth and wolves and snow and insanity that contains the phrase "a red Grail in an ivory Logres", a conscious inspiration for the Red Grail, the Hour of blood and hunger and birth? In your livestream where you discussed your literary influences, you mentioned blood and wolves and snow and sex in the context of Tanith Lee, but not Williams, and what I've heard is that Tanith Lee has a different way of doing that.

  2. Do Gods-From-Flesh originate as human occultists or otherwise come from our reality? I have some fairly complicated reasons to suspect this besides just the name, but it's possible that, even though nothing is ever a coincidence when it comes to the Hours, the correct correspondence is something else.

Given that Williams literally used the phrase "red Grail", I think the only reasonable conclusion is that he was - knowingly or unknowingly - under the influence of the Hours while writing Taliessin through Logres.

As far as I can tell the Warhammer version isn't associated with birth, though, which is why I find the Williams version so interesting.
