    You, O Books, are the golden vessels of the temple, the arms of
    the clerical militia with which the missiles of the most wicked
    are destroyed; fruitful olives, vines of Engaddi, fig-trees
    knowing no sterility; burning lamps to be ever held in the hand.

Books, books, books!

Piled high with cases in read more

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!
At last, because the time was ripe,
I chanced upon the poets.
