Your book is a masterpiece. I feel I have been the guest of honour at a glorious feast: of knowledge and understanding; of interweaving and parsing; of outrageous complexity and internal, dependable, grand and glorious simplicity; and of love and deep regard for the original masterpiece that is the human being.
