Phillips writes, "possibility of A Humument epic. some major work retold in its pages arranged: some new Ulysses of economy ----- the Aeneid. War & Peace?" and "Sometimes difficult to find appropriate bits and I think the strain occasionally shows. I think it's worth the real success and insights." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
