Sure thing. I'll send it on shortly.
There is more to him then simple creativity, he was an academic philosopher and romantic, yearning for the spiritual and his mystic side really shows in this book.
I know! I rushed a bit there, but one of things I cherish about Stapledon is his devotion to the nuance of the intangible, the senses, the "spirit" to which he so often refers. Perhaps one of his crowning contributions is that he melds embracing reality as it is and the essence of worship; it's so rare to find the two in the same place, I've found. Maybe I haven't search enough, and will take a trip through some of your suggestions, so thank you. And that link - an interesting site! Thank you for that as well.
For me, for what it's worth, I had spent years searching for something I couldn't quite place, and once I found him, realized it was this tremendous sense of scope, our littleness and such sensitivity to thought and creativity. At time he's so rich in descriptiveness a break helps, sure, and then you pick up again where you left off.
