A Great Library Easily Begets Affection, Which

Poetry Should Be Vital--either Stirring Our Blood By Its Divine Movements Or Snatching Our Breath By Its Divine Perfection. To Do Both Is Supreme Glory, To Do Either Is Enduring Fame.

It Is The Mass The Matters.

Good As It Is To Inherit A Library, It Is Better To Collect One.
