The Book Trade Is A Spiritual Barometer

I Believe That All Wisdom Consists In Caring Immensely For A Few Right Things, And Not Caring A Straw About The Rest.

Civilisation Is A Conspiracy.

I Always Try To Suit My Clothes To My Company. It Is The Only Way To Be Inconspicuous.

And Where The Deepest Current Crawls/ Like Thistledown The Dainty Fly Falls./ Then From The Depths A Silver Gleam/ Quick Flashes, Like A Jewel Bright./ Up Through The Waters Of The Stream/ An Instant Visible To Sight/ As Lightning Cleaves To Sombre Sky/ A Rainbow Rises To The Fly.

The Book Trade Is A Spiritual Barometer Of A Nations Well-being.
