Borobudur is a memorable invention, completely current because it succors either heritage and mind's eye. The poem's tropical atmospheres and correspondingly spiced language, the splendid aspect and layers of tale, girdle the poem because it, in its outstanding stead, encircles the monument which era nearly forgot." ~ Kris Hemensley
