sleeping with books.
Poscimur; atque aliquid quando tu, cara, requiris / Dabitur;
(I am entreated, and when you, dear, ask anything of me, it shall be given)
Quanto desiderat astra / Papilio volitans;
(as the fluttering butterfly longs for the stars)
amoris amicitiaeque.
(of love and friendship).
-Maud Gleason, from Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman.
