[Percy] Shelley’s views on alchemically re-attaining androgyny heralded an entire nineteenth century subculture known as the “Uranian” movement.
Led by Edward Carpenter (1844-1929), like Shelley, the Uranians drew inspiration from the Symposium, where Plato contrasts earthly heterosexual sex with a higher heavenly love or Uranian Eros that is androgynous and oriented toward transcendent illumination.
Long before it became identified with the planet that classical astronomers, lacking telescopes, could not yet observe, Ouranus or Uranus simply meant “Heaven .”
The Uranian conception of love was, consequently, a conquest of what Emmanuel Swedenborg called Arcana Coelestia or “the secrets of Heaven .” It is the conquest of Uranus by means of a forbidden erotic alchemy.
