"I go into my library, and all history unrolls before me. I
breathe the morning air of the world while the scent of Eden's
roses yet lingered in it, while it vibrated only to the world's
first brood of nightingales, and to the laugh of Eve. I see the
pyramids building; I hear the shoutings of the armies of
Alexander." [

"Books and Gardens" by Alexander Smith
Books, books, books!
I had found the secret of a garret-room
Piled high with cases in my father's name;
Piled high, packed large,-where, creeping in and out
Among the giant fossils of my past,
Like some small nimble mouse between the ribs
Of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there
At this or that box, pulling through the gap,
In heats of terror, haste, victorious joy,
The first book first. And how I felt it beat
Under my pillow, in the morning's dark,
An hour before the sun would let me read!
My books!

that of an ignorant nation." Walter Cronkite
