I haven't paid close attention to this thread, but of course, the first
example that leaps to mind is _Till We Have Faces_, which is of course the
title of a C.S. Lewis novel. Jumping to another artist, another Lewis
reference I rather like is the Waterboys' 'Further Up, Further In', from
the _Room to Roam_ album, the title of which comes from George MacDonald,
IIRC. They also use the phrase "that hideous strength" in 'Savage Earth
Heart', but one could argue that this is not really a Lewis reference,
since Lewis himself got it from an even earlier poet (I forget who).
