  • Staggering. Bookmarked. We are particularly proud, though, of our classical Chinese and east Asian representation. There may not be as many of these numerically as there are of European and American sites, but we know of no place on the Internet where so many are posted in one place for the benefit of English speakers. Hear, hear!
  • ))) to ye, Argh! Definitely one to bookmark. Li Bai's Yellow Mountains: priceless.
  • Yeah, nice stuff. Thx, Argh.
  • "While the huge seafoam of Isla Negra, the blue salt in the waves splash over you, I watch the bee at its work, Avid in the honey of its universe." Great find, Argh!
  • Oooooh! A source of desktop images for months to come! I particularly enjoyed the Arthurian places. The importance of a sense of place in literature can't be underestimated. What would Dickens have been without London, or Faulkner without rural Mississippi?
  • Hamlet's castle, meet Danish Hippy Paradise. You know, for the record.
  • If you came by day not knowing what you came for... Lovely stuff. Thanks.
