That Hallowed Institution

A library is a cathedral whose contents
are sacred to those whose lives evolve
around the wisdom to be found in so
many narratives adroitly expressed by
those for whom language is their religion.
Each book contained in that hallowed
institution inspired by thoughtfulness
and the intention of the writer to impart
views of another world, the interior of the
mind, the exterior of the evolving world
and in the aggregate the contents of that
special place is as the universe each of
its offerings steadily expanding the
reader's cerebral functioning in the
passion of discovery, a continuous
excitation of deep devotion whose every
absorption of one revelation following
on another deposits priceless knowledge
to be carefully filed upon the book
shelves of the reader's omnivorous mind.
