Exactly what I was looking for. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Highly recommend to serious students.
I keep coming back to this one. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. A text you study rather than simply read. A keeper.

Grabbed this during a weekend order. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Five stars from me.
