Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that one of the books that we were assigned to read, was called "Ariel," written by an Uruguayan author, a philosophy book focusing on beauty vs. utility, as if both could not co-exist peaceably. Coincidentally, one our classmates' names was Ariela, but I do not remember her. Some of these people to me are only faces and names in a yearbook, nothing more.
