Allusions in The Stone Gods

In the novel The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson, the author uses a variety of allusions. The character's names, for example, are allusions to other literary works. For your own education look up the references to Billie (Billy), Crusoe, and Manfred, for example. Sometimes the allusion is a direct quotation from a famous poem or literary work. For example:

THE SUN RISING by John Donne

            Busy old fool, unruly sun, 
            Why dost thou thus 
Through windows and through curtains call on us? 
Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run? 
            Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide 
            Late schoolboys and sour prentices, 
      Go tell court huntsmen that the King will ride, 
      Call country ants to harvest offices; 
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime, 
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
            Thy Beams, so reverend and strong
            Why shouldst thou think?
I could eclipse and cloud them with a wink,
But that I would not lose her sight so long;
            If her eyes have not blinded thine,
            Look, and tomorrow late, tell me,
      Whether both th' Indias of spice and mine
      Be where thou leftst them, or lie here with me.
Ask for those kings whom thou saw'st yesterday,
And thou shalt hear, All here in one bed lay.
            She is all states, and all princes I,
            Nothing else is.
Princes do but play us; compared to this,
All honor's mimic, all wealth alchemy.
            Thou, sun, art half as happy as we,
            In that the world's contracted thus;
      Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
      To warm the world, that's done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls thy sphere.
