Thine eyes, that taught the dumb on high to sing
And heavy ignorance aloft to fly,
Have added feathers to the learned's wing
And given grace a double majesty.Yet be most proud of that which I compile,
Whose influence is thine and born of thee.William Shakespeare
Sonnets, 78
About our overlayered structure for this Troy-town maze of cultural stratigraphy — at Troynovant an entry is a review of book or story, of film or reel or soundie, if largely about a particular title; while a brief nod or counterpoint to a notable article or curiosity is a comment; a folly mines a vein of humor, or if more pointed a satire; a memoir is a firsthand reminiscence; a compilation gathers illuminating quotations; otherwise generally an essay.
