from this week in April, 2008 (I was 63)
Particular authors attack the intellect
not by their intimidating
difficulty where one knows
he will never achieve the
argot and jargon needed
to decode the message, but
instead with the scope
of their comprehension
supported by allusions
and references to so many
other works and writers
and presented with such
enthusiastic import or provocative
implication as to overwhelm
the reader with his own ignorance
and a need to engage whole
bodies of additional work:
Colin Wilson, Joseph
Campbell, Hermann Hesse, Carl Sagan
