Marguerite Yourcenar
“I often think of the library established by Plotina in Trajan’s Forum, with that noble inscription placed by her order over its door: Dispensary to the Soul.”
Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

Marguerite Yourcenar

Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian

Humbert of Romans
