"Sibilant, fricative, undulating alliterative consonance and to steal from Fry, the sound-sex of it, is utter delight. Words well chosen, exemplary work."

"I often wonder, is the best of something a fair judge of its character. As if our finest hours are the sum of disparate parts. "

"National Mythos - collective belief - some of the greatest wonders and most horrifying horrors. Choice as the grave(st) implication of positive possibility - lives lead as investments rather than ornaments. Monumental absurdity as symbols of monumental crassness. To look and not learn is to build and breed suffering. As always, a delight."

"You won't get this reference likely - reminds me of a Tim Winton short story in his "the turning" collection" it has the same thrust to it - the same effecting stare. "

"Simple moments made melodious through the joy of beauty - delicate and delicious expression of ideas an imagined frenetic event with the contrast of the briefest movement - a monumentous thought played out in slow motion."

"Necessity does not drive us - we convince ourselves of the necessity and follow through the seemingly logical conclusion. Sanity; what rubric does a man ascribe himself. What moral code is truly universal and standard? Shoot at the sky, but hide underground - buried heads in sand (safety in numbers) The notion of the absurd - the outsider - stranger. We take the bus with them, we hold their hands, we make love to them on cold mornings with the stink of old teeth and stale fluoride. Ridicule is the ridiculous reaching outside themselves in order to maintain the status quo within themselves. We make ourselves from little nothings, and we are mighty amongst our equally inferior brethren. "We barely remember, who or what came before..." Apologies for the tedious length of my comment."

"Reminiscent of "Love in the time of Cholera" this breathes of missed opportunities, of hearts that feel too much - but by comparison make all else seem less pure. To feel at all is a joy, but not without its toll. Beautifully melancholic."

"So much within such a small space - even more nuances in the third reading than I thought possible. You have a way with words, symbols, nostalgic referentials - this piece is a tapestry finely woven. "cobwebs of clouds/coral melody" I could gorge on this ad infinitum."

"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."

"Nostalgia - for me a drive down a long road lined with trees, summer air and summer smiles. This is well wrought, simple it seems, but captures the life of each moment - that last referential, those symbols that encapsulate our memories. Eloquent piece."

"This pulls at the heart like nothing else, the sky on this day was like a pouring expulsion of agony from the heavens. Then terse words - rolling down the page - steady and unrelenting, gaining momentum. But you still grasp at it in that hopeless turgid hour the gasping impetuous needs that bind our humanity together. In the face of such incredible beauty, he cried tears of frustration, agony and inconsolable grief because he knew he would never amount to anything, he knew that he was nothing, and in his heart of hearts he was certain that this was as it should be. Thank you."

"Something eternal in that rise and fall - inevitability and constancy - in effect we are experiencing something all man has. Veritable symbol of hope. Stunning imagery with a hint of stifling machinery - that such beauty could be mechanized. The tear of fiber optics, the dull colourless heart. Androids will presumably be no less created than we are, and though flawed images of gods creating flawed images of us. The reflection is still beautiful in its own way. Thanks for this."

"Riddle. Last comment. I was going to say this is very direct of you, it involves less imagery than usual. But it is very riddle-like in its format. Tristeza (sadness) I know as a rock band, but the rest of that first line eludes me. A pleasure to immerse in your words again, finding pleasure in melancholy once more."
