I’m still really glad that I am reading this. Nevertheless, I am grateful for critical thinking skills. Some of it is brilliant. Some of it mixes metaphors like a defective 13th century Cuisinart.

Dorothy L. Sayers quote:
“People who tackle Dante in this… way [by just reading Inferno] seldom get beyond the picturesque squalors of the Inferno. This is as though we were to judge a great city after a few days spent underground among the cellars and sewers; it would not be surprising if we were to report only an impression of sordidness, suffocation, rats, fetor, and gloom.”
