We get no good
By being ungenerous, even to a book,
And calculating profits--so much help

We get no good
By being ungenerous, even to a book,
And calculating profits--so much help
By so much reading. It is rather when

Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's profound,
Impassioned for its beauty, and salt of truth--
'Tis then we get the right good from a book.

Are not companions--they are solitudes:
We lose ourselves in them and all our cares.
