On the Reading of Old Books Old books are shrunken mummies, who suck in our breath and live again each time we read. They are the wings we strap on to fly above the rubble, to find fragments strewn in patterns of stained glass. Books are bottles of vintage wine, claret of finest seasons-- highest intellect now ash-- preserves of ancient cerebral summers. |
