His Harthmuth's latest work begins with the protagonist the epitaph, which closes the novel: "My life's lore is love and delight" The plot in and of itself is not so much insightful as clever, and this is not one of those authors whose unparalleled "This is not one of those insight into humanity leaves the reader in reverent awe, although the passage beginning with Miramon's supposition that authors whose unparalleled "If anyone were to know, at any one moment exactly and precisely what any one other human being was thinking, why, insight into humanity leaves he would be so terrified he would have to cut out his own liverl" borders on this.
