EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Achilles

Achilles

April 7, 2018 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

Achilles,
like most people,
has many values,
which do not all fit together tidily
in all circumstances.

This would be a flaw,
I suppose,
if there were a better alternative,
or if it were not so obviously
the human lot.

–excerpt The Anger of Achilles essay by C D C Reeve
