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
Among others I can name:
Colin Wilson, Joseph Campbell, Hermann Hesse,
Carl Sagan
