To me he told such complete stories, and the beauty of his poetic prose was breathtaking. <br /><br />You must be right - our admiration for our chosen writer, pushes us to create something worthy of their influence in our lives, and written work.<br /><br />Can't thank you enough for sharing.ninotazizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491437553562159354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554309518179807002.post-63919049922270628482013-05-27T20:24:06.507-07:002013-05-27T20:24:06.507-07:00Beautifully done, I love Frank Herbert's works...Beautifully done, I love Frank Herbert's works because of the philosophical framework he brings to bear on his epics... and the cabeza you have here is a classic. And the glosa you weave around this seed is excellent, beginning with the single-word openings to each stanza, which establish the theme and collectively trace an evolution from fear to freedom... all the way to the familiar lines from the cabeza forming the envoi to each layer of thought.
