A lovely quote from The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt, on the joys of putting together a syllabus:
"There is a particular aesthetic pleasure in constructing the form of a syllabus, or a book of essays, or a course of lectures. Visions and shadows of people and ideas can be arranged and rearranged like stained-glass pieces in a window, or chessmen on a board" (119).
