\u201cThere are books so alive that you\u2019re always afraid
\nthat while you weren\u2019t reading,
\nthe book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river;
\nwhile you went on living, it went on living too,
\nand like a river moved on and moved away.
\nNo one has stepped twice into the same river.
\nBut did anyone ever step twice into the same book?\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cThere is one story and one story only
\nThat will prove worth your telling,

\u201cTo know only one thing well is to have a barbaric mind: civilization implies the graceful relation of all varieties of experience to a central humane system of thought. The present age is peculiarly barbaric: introduce, say, a Hebrew scholar to an ichthyologist or an authority on Danish place names and the pair of them would have no single topic in common but the weather or the war (if there happened to be a war in progress, which is usual in this barbaric age).\u201d<\/div>\n

\u201cWHEN a dream is born in you
\nWith a sudden clamorous pain,
\nWhen you know the dream is true
\nAnd lovely, with no flaw nor strain,
\nO then, be careful, or with sudden clutch
\nYou\u2019ll hurt the delicate thing you prize so much.\u201d<\/div>\n
