"I returned the book to the library but I think I want to get an ebook version. She drops the names of so many artists I need to look up, I'd just as soon read it on a tablet. I need to be able to jump over to colour images of the art in order to refresh my memory, or educate myself." — Sep 28, 2014 01:04PM

"Still on page 136. I think I would like to read The Iliad alongside the rest of this book. The first half of The Aeneid corrosponds with The Odyssey, which I have read, and the second half with The Iliad. Since I've just started reading War and Peace, I think I'll wait till I finish that before taking up the Iliad alongside the remainder of The Aeneid. I I haven't abandoned it." — Sep 06, 2013 03:05PM

“But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult! The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation.
The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.”
