" We return to the house and take up Plutarch or Augustine,
and read a few sentences or pages, and lo!
The air swims with life;
the front of heaven is full of fiery shapes;
secrets of magnanimity and grandeur
invite us on every hand;
life is made up of them.
Such is our debt to a book."
{Ralph Waldo Emerson}
a world of words
of sentences
the sustenance of a soul
this deep love of reading
