"We don't need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence.
Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever."

Oh for a book and a shady nook, either indoor or out.
With the green leaves whispering overhead,
Or the street cries all about.
Where I may read all at my ease,
Bot of the new and the old;
For a jolly good book whereon to look,
Is better to me than gold.
-John Wilson |

If you listen
You will hear him read,
From Frank O'Hara
To Andre Gide.
And if it's silent
Under this stone,
It means there's a library in Heaven
And he's right at home. Unknown |
