Inscription over the doorway to the library at Thebes
Today I am dreaming of my very own library with built-in bookcases a plenty. I need a place to proudly display my old ragged copy of Gatsby and my stacks of art historical biographies and my favorite page-turners.
Wouldn't it be perfectly lovely to settle down into a favorite cozy chair with a cup of Lady Grey tea and leisurely browse through old books?

Books we've read reveal
ReplyDeletewho we were at a certain time.
Leafing through them
we see snapshots of who we were.
Why was that novel chosen?
And what did it mean to us then?
Great books we've read
take us back to a moment in time.
They're like a visit with a good friend.
The conversation resumes
and we settle in and enjoy.
