If he restores an ancient purse with all its coins and rust,
This prodigy of honesty deserves to be enrolled

A book could be friend, lover, family, priest, but more reliable than any of these. With books, one could wall off the world. In their shelter, a calm prevailed more profound than that of the stars or the sea.”
