Bloody and black and nightmarish (the imagery, the unfulfilledness). Maybe a bit too abstract for me.

The best thing is now there are poets I want to read more of.

More good and strange Murdoch. Perhaps a bit of a rehearsal for The Sea The Sea. Painful and guilty and bleak but uplifting too.

Difficult ideas are difficult but at lest they free your brain from that constant thinking of ‘is this good? do I like it?’

I really liked ‘The Fury of Sunrises’

Terse and tense and raw. 

Does the thing sequels often do of seemingly distilling what worked best in  the first one and so giving you something more enjoyable but also maybe with a little less texture? Still good stuff thro and I’m very here for book 3.

Well written, some resonant observations and startling insights but I’m not sure about the more abstract parts of the critique and conclusion.

There are or two parenthetical asides, where Scruton interjects his own grumpy opinions but even so this did help at least open up Kant’s ideas to me.
