Cathedral Library

Famous quotes containing the words cathedral and/or library:

“The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.”
