This is a response to the following prompt from house_of_enshu - the piece itself came out a little too academic and dry so i'm posting it here.

'I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.'
- Jorge Luis Borges

I admire the depth of your knowledge. Not too many people can write about Eco, Flavel, Cocteau and Radiguet and Borges.

I suspect Monsieur de St. Germain has the missing tomes.

I have read Eco, although it has been years. Coincidentally, given this post, I have Borges on my list to read for the first time this year. Once I do, I think I should return and read this post again.

You write well, wytchcroft. I enjoyed reading this. Obviously, I don't get the references since I haven't read Borges, but you've made me curious enough that I think I'd better move Labyrinths up the list. :)

Labyrinths is a fantastic read :))

as for the entry here, references and what not, i wouldn't worry - i was making it all up!
