+
+<p>At the time, I enjoyed reading this collection of meditations on
+Stoic philosophy, and it was a fairly quick read (fifteen minutes a
+day over the course of two weeks for me). Nowadays I've read
+Epictetus, and I suggest reading his <em>Discourses</em> instead.</p>

+William Blake</h2>
+
+<p class="first">Blake is my <a href="William%20Blake.html">favorite</a> of the English poets. His
+unique use of relief etching and watercoloring makes for very
+interesting Illuminated works. There is a very high quality
+<a href="http://blakearchive.org">complete archive of Blake's works</a> online
+with high resolution plate scans and full transcriptions among other
+things.</p>

+
+<p>The unfinished manuscript of Blake's longest apocalypse. The
+Four Zoas divide from Albion and rage through the ages of dismal woe
+to bring about the end of the cycle of Ulro and restore the cycle of
+Beulah.</p>

+Lucifer (series)</h3>
+
+<p><em>Rating:</em> <span class="rating-good"> ••••••</span><span class="rating-bad">•••• </span> (6) / <em>Fiction</em></p>
+
+<p>Of the <em>Sandman</em> spinoffs, <em>Lucifer</em> stands out as the best for
+the first half, but then the writer appears to take on far too great a
+task, and, with the introduction of some disagreeable character
+relations, fails to execute the story as well as it could have
+been. Still, it was worth reading to the end even though most of the
+stories after issue 35 or so were merely ok. If you like Kierkegaard I
+suggest issues 2, 3, and 62—they show the form of the incommensurable
+relation of the single individual to the absolute perfectly.</p>
