You'd like it, and it's a fast read. A Keats quote's key. But Angel of Grief's more out of Adonais' "lost angel of a ruined paradise," hence up by Shelley. The angelicism in question is gnostic, the fire for which all thirst and each are mirrors of.
oh, and fwiw, that's always been my problem vis a vis the narratives of buddhism, etc. versus judeo-christianity: the obliteration of the self into the nirvanic unity.
