   Glad you liked it. BTW it's "jargon" not "jaron". I advise all English    
   speaking readers to read Joseph Campbell. The man spent a long time in    
   France studying troubadour poetry and the symbolism of Notre Dame de    
   Paris. Furthermore he's the greatest specialist of James Joyce who's the   
   most important writer of the English letters in the 20th century (with    
   Yeats and, to a certain extent, Ezra Pound).   
      
   Then there's Alan Moore. When you're fully "geared" with Campbell, you    
   can start reading "From Hell" and "Promethea" with all the tools    
   required. ;)
