"END OF PART 1.
I've been milking this saga. Started way back at 20 pages a day, but I've lapsed. Fits & starts. DQ has been by turns delightful, microcosmic, and tedious. I already feel as though the knight errant himself has given me a new paradigm by which to judge Madness. He's everywhere. Just recently I saw him embodied by a delusional friend under the thrall of mythology (like DQ's books of chivalry.) Gah!" — Sep 14, 2020 08:51AM

"This is some of the best American --no, scratch that-- some of the best poetry I've ever read, period. The gorgeous vernacular, for pages on end, untrammeled, unenjambed.
You won't believe how well-spoken and self-aware even the most common people used to sound back in 1970. Steel workers, switchboard operators. Somewhere along the line our skills as raconteurs took a serious nosedive." — Jul 19, 2020 10:23AM

“There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.”
