The author is a raconteur. He plays the omniscient and fills in the gaps of history of both the main character and the place McCarthy. Each chapter starts with a picture, some introducing new characters into the story. The author has remained impartial by showing how Pap Pilgrim was perceived by his supporters and opposers. The town talking through the newspaper is funny. The alternating chapters of Papa pilgrim's previous life and present show the divide in him appriopriately.
The blurb takes a very Piped Piper of Hamlin take at Papa pilgrim and so does the town initially. But wish the book had a rating indicative of the abuse, but then I would have missed reading a good author's work.

Pergamon as the intersection of Greek and Roman cultures.

The Golden Ass collection of tales.

When the book says Hadrian is a Roman emperor, I wonder whats Hadrian's Wall doing in Britain.
Asclepius was treated as a god. I think now I understand the Concept of hero. The Pergamon citizens believed that god spoke to them in dreams. In many Indian mythologies, gods appear to their devotees in their dreams suggesting ways for offerings.

Approximation and appropriaton

To simplify the elements of a scene that you see into 3 objects.
Look at your feet as the author mentor says. There is a painting of such an impression in the book. And now I understand the treasure that lies at our feet.
There are many techniques in the book to create wonderful paintings. The author says that painting is for when you are at loss of words. But once you do the paintings, you will find yourself itching to express in words too.
There are works by many artists in the book. That brings a variety of perspectives.

Pinning the flag of a poem in time

Thy Living hand
Today a friend recalled the Hindi movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as Run, Milkha Run which is a true translation. This triggered another snippet from another friend about someone saying why do you burn my blood which in literal Hindi is indicative of seething with anger.

This poem Thy Living hand reminded me of that with its blood flow. The power of this poem is from its use of time dimension. The holding out of the hand eternally.

The desired fruit

..Create the tree from which such a fruit would fall - Paul Valery

In Zoe's first spring book of Sesame Street,
The leaves fall
from the tree and gather
below uniquely
from the cloud of leaves
with no form to themselves
Will the leaf go back to
the oblivion where the
fruit is desired.
