- "this is utterly profound..... what a way to express a complex sentiment.. I think we overcrowd and hype so much of expectations instead of actually appreciating things for what they really are... however they are...."

- ""that breeds disconnection"..the city of adverts; the new age..where few stop to take in big breaths..rather than small gasps..and take in the little details over cast..large to small..the now glorious previously diminished..I think musically when I here diminished . the gap less staff and see epic when I visualize fjords.. such beautiful...there is more to see if you expanded your spectrum; your life... magnificently written..sorry if my comment don't make sense haha."

- ""just like the fjords of norway" w/ a stunning, never considered before reflection to New York's Central Park! Brilliantly perfect. & this new semi-urbanality poetry from you, I love it! The glorious use of your rhythmic aspects of prose & the magnificence of your human intellect brought down to size by the grace & pride of the "grandiose things" in the splendid penultimate stanza; the sense of near invisible rhythmic structure/meter, like jazz, listen to the notes you cannot hear. The between melodies. & the surreal tangential final "spellbound" verse, so purr_fect! This poem is a photograph. As Solace said: a "glorious piece". Echium plantagineum? The "crazyfaced purple weed" (Purple Viper's Bugloss)? The Solace comment lent me towards that theory for the perfect end, from a picture of Central Park to the fjords of Norway to your breathless smallness as to the universe and then the smallest of things... this is pure purr_verse. glorious & diminished yet elevated. Beautifully crafted! "

- "To taste again the youthful beauty of a life unjaded... These are words that deserved to be said, and I thank you for doing so. The world is far more beautiful than we are at times capable of admitting, or understanding, but sometimes it just takes a couple appreciative words to give an old pair of eyes a new vision."

- "Glorious piece, that last part about what I assume to be Pattersons Curse was superb. Life is as much glorious wonderment in giants as it is wonderment of ants. I will seriously spend entire afternoons gazing at skylines from mountain tops as much as I will watch an ant hoist a rock out of its way and feel just as awestruck by the sight. That social need to diminish something so great simply because it is so well known for being great. Dare to be different (but in some cases theres a reason not to). The Fjords will always be an overwhelming confirmation that things are often as good as people say, despite the fact that they have said it."

- "somewhere between all the pretentious small talk at 'big' parties and the manufactured hype of insignificant shit, i've grown uncomfortably accustom to being underwhelmed. excellent write."

*he's the darkling. >:D"

- "This is poetic magic, I was glued to every word. It has a darkness than draws you in and makes you yearn to know the darkling personally. Fantasy set in motion."
