BLISS RATING: ★★★★+ “Have thy will, I am the Love that dare not speak its name.” – Two Loves by Lord Alfred Douglas Wow! I did not think it was possible to tell a compete story in 20 minutes. However, this sonnet certainly did. It is a poetic and beautiful story of two friends who…

BLISS RATING: ★★★★ “The forbiddenness of fruit makes even the taste of lemon sweet.” – Mokokoma Mokhonoana Maybe it was due to an inadequate translation issue, but I honestly was not sure what to make of this series.
