“…the library door stands open: having once entered, it seems unnecessary ever to go out again, except for intervals of food and sleep. It is silly, in the jargon of the age, to call the life among books a ‘life-substitute’; it is indeed a real life, if a curious submarine one, in that ocean ‘where each kind can straight its own resemblance find’ – and in that life one is apt to suffer a sea-change…”
R. Liddell - The Last Enchantments
