Leaving some literary antecedents here, for exploration for those interested:


"... for why is all around us here
As if some lesser god had made the world,
But had not force to shape it as he would"?

-Tennyson (Idylls of the King)


One can wander along the artistic trail to Mark Medoff's excellent play, Children of a Lesser God, which was also made into a film.



The Order of the Stick is a rich, complex work, and can be appreciated on many levels.
