Distringit librorum multitudo
(the abundance of books is distraction)
Litany Quotes : pic 000982209
Language forms a kind of wealth, which all can make use of at once without causing any diminution of the store, and which thus admits a complete community of enjoyment; for all, freely participating in the general treasure, unconsciously aid in its preservation.
Litany Quotes : pic 000574687
I want books written out of a brain and heart and soul crowded and vital with Life, spelled with a big L. I want poetry bursting with passion. I don't care a hang for the 'verbal felicities.' They'll do for the fringe, but I want the garment to warm me first.
Litany Quotes : pic 000746384
When there is war, the poet lays down the lyre, the lawyer his law reports, the schoolboy his books.
Litany Quotes : pic 001863852
(Who Did No Harm to No Man all the Dais of Her Life. Reader, Can You Say Lykewise?).
Litany Quotes : pic 000655065
Poetry is language in orbit.
Litany Quotes : pic 000011622
With 'Ilustrado,' I set out to change the way we read literature, and I think I failed spectacularly. In fact, I know I failed. In reaching further than I could, I may not have produced a life- or literature-changing book, but I did produce one I am proud of.
Litany Quotes : pic 001401382
The poets carry feelings, delivering desires and dispatching dreams. Even if sometimes they need pack some sorrows, distill several disappointments and filter strange nightmares.
Litany Quotes : pic 000658562
Poetry comes with anger, hunger and dismay; it does not often visit groups of citizens sitting down to be literary together, and would appal them if it did.
Litany Quotes : pic 000777695
We weave together the many skeins of our words,
Into poems and stories and books,
And the books are made so much more vivacious and colourful,
For all the care that is woven in along with the words.

The Ilan-Lael Foundation is an arts education foundation celebrating nature and the aesthetic of the built environment for its ability to help us see ourselves and our world in new ways.
Litany Quotes : pic 001330928
Stripped of its plot, the 'Iliad' is a scattering of names and biographies of ordinary soldiers: men who trip over their shields, lose their courage or miss their wives. In addition to these, there is a cast of anonymous people: the farmers, walkers, mothers, neighbours who inhabit its similes.
Litany Quotes : pic 001674215
A circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge.
Litany Quotes : pic 000080769
The pressed oil of words can blaze up into music, into image, into the heart and mind's knowledge. The lit and shadowed places within us can be warmed.
Litany Quotes : pic 001133781
LANGUAGE, n. The music with which we charm the serpents guarding another's treasure.
Litany Quotes : pic 000515828
In Homer and Chaucer there is more of the innocence and serenity of youth than in the more modern and moral poets. The Iliad is not Sabbath but morning reading, and men cling to this old song, because they still have moments of unbaptized and uncommitted life, which give them an appetite for more.
Litany Quotes : pic 001229103
To possess one single thing (it is Louis now) must waver, like the light in and out of the beech leaves; and then words, moving darkly, in the depths of your mind will break up this knot of hardness, screwed in your pocket-handkerchief.
Litany Quotes : pic 001021394
Above all, a book is a riverbank for the river of language. Language without the riverbank is only television talk - a free fall, a loose splash, a spill.

The Lord lit my life; with the light of your love.

Litany Quotes : pic 000053536

Litany Quotes : pic 000319636
As a prose writer, I work with language; and those who work with language turn to poetry for renewal.
Litany Quotes : pic 000544358

Litany Quotes : pic 001451801
A louse in the locks of literature.
Litany Quotes : pic 001353798
A library is a temple unabridged with priceless treasure. Librarians are the majesties who loan the jewels of measure. They welcome to the kingdom the young and old of reapers and reign among the riches as the wondrous fortune keepers.
Litany Quotes : pic 000555749
A little library, growing every year, is an honorable part of a man's history. It is a man's duty to have books.

With a dozen long-stemmed proses

Litany Quotes : pic 000084213
Truths kindle light for truths.
Litany Quotes : pic 000853100
A library is a home filled with our stories. On every shelf, we see ourselves, experience our collective conscious, describe our dreams and our great longing for times that have passed, the sterling moment of the present and the glorious future known only in our imaginations.
Litany Quotes : pic 001123805
The world is a library and we are its stories.

Litany Quotes : pic 000663255
Poetry: Language against which we have no defences.
Litany Quotes : pic 000700776
The clerisy are those who seek, and find, delight and enlargement of life in books. The clerisy are those for whom reading is a personal art.
Litany Quotes : pic 000632466
Language is present in a piece of writing like the sea in a single drop.
Litany Quotes : pic 001179449
Poetry uses language to create a music borne inside human experiences and emotions.
Litany Quotes : pic 000823360
All his life there was only one thing Lec was allowed to believe. It had surrounded him, cocooned him, constricted him with the same stifling softness as the layers of insulation around him now. For the first time in his life, Lev feels those bounds around his soul begin to loosen.
Litany Quotes : pic 001559152
Poetry is a fossil rock-print of a fin and a wing, with an illegible oath between.
Litany Quotes : pic 001388972
Nothing is so intimately a part of a man as his library. It contains just what the possessor wants to look at most often, and comes to form his window or gateway to the larger cosmos.
Litany Quotes : pic 000703470
The literary world is made up of little confederacies, each looking upon its own members as the lights of the universe; and considering all others as mere transient meteors, doomed to soon fall and be forgotten, while its own luminaries are to shine steadily into immortality.
Litany Quotes : pic 001176870
Poetry ... the deepest abyss of infinity.
Litany Quotes : pic 001561114
Books never pall on me. They discourse with us, they take counsel with us, and are united to us by a certain living chatty familiarity. And not only does each book inspire the sense that it belongs to its readers, but it also suggests the name of others, and one begets the desire of the other.
Litany Quotes : pic 000847971
Words are living legends, swollen with significance. We string them together to make stories, but they themselves ARE stories, encapsulating rich, runny histories.
Litany Quotes : pic 001543285
In those days, when my hands were much employed, I read but little, but the least scraps of paper which lay on the ground, my holder, or tablecloth, afforded me as much entertainment, in fact answered the same purpose as the Iliad.
Litany Quotes : pic 001462250
Eloquence is the child of knowledge. When a mind is full, like a wholesome river, it is also clear.
Litany Quotes : pic 000052524

Litany Quotes : pic 000912082
GIFT
You tell me that silence
is nearer to peace than poems
but if for my gift
I brought you silence
(for I know silence)
you would say
This is not silence
this is another poem
and you would hand it back to me
Litany Quotes : pic 000097501
Life perpetuated in parti-colored loves
and beautiful lies all in different languages.
Litany Quotes : pic 000758756
Does poem also walk through the valleys seeking tongues from dandelions?
Litany Quotes : pic 001430251
Zoe let the poetry flow over her, like shadows on water, sunlight against stone: timeworn words shaped like stars, like shells, like the ruins of lost temples, soft as the breaths of mystics.
Litany Quotes : pic 001838108
My life is a reading list.
Litany Quotes : pic 001215382
Library? That sounded reasonable. As my thoughts revolved around my days surrounded by books, something miraculous happened. My anger subsided. It ebbed away as the thoughts of books, pages, and comfort entered my head.
Litany Quotes : pic 000642678
As the eyes of Lyncaeus were said to see through the earth, so the poet turns the world to glass, and shows us all things in their right series and procession.
Litany Quotes : pic 000605385
In the particular presence of memorable language we can find a reminder of our ability to know and retain knowledge itself: the brightness wherein all things come to see.
Litany Quotes : pic 000248058
Brilliant. [Lasdun] seems to me certainly among the most gifted, vivid, and deft poets now writing in English, and far better than many who are more famous. His capacities are solidly established; his promise is nearly infinite.
Litany Quotes : pic 000405090
Jed Perl writes precisely and ecstatically. Antoine' s Alphabet is a history and a fairy tale, a work of criticism, and a work of art.
Litany Quotes : pic 000600868
Nothing is more dangerous to maidenly delicacy of speech than the run of a good library.
Litany Quotes : pic 001308688
Prose talks and poetry sings.
Litany Quotes : pic 001484146
Heart-aches are forgotten, tears lose their bitterness, and like a leaf of lavendar in a store of linen, so does Memory make life sweet.
Litany Quotes : pic 000059632
Oh, Marigold!" Lymond spoke plaintively. "A silken tongue, a heart of cruelty. Don't berate us. We're only poor scoundrels - vagabonds - scraps of society; unlettered and untaught.
Litany Quotes : pic 001009253
A library is the first step of a thousand journeys, portal to a thousand worlds.
Litany Quotes : pic 000888398
Books are the beehives of thought; laconics, the honey taken from them.
Litany Quotes : pic 000625314
Poetry begins where language starts: in the shadows and accidents of one person's life.
Litany Quotes : pic 000953476
The founding of libraries was like constructing more public granaries, amassing reserves against a spiritual winter which by certain signs, in spite of myself, I see ahead ...
Litany Quotes : pic 001088957

Litany Quotes : pic 000428997
Literature is language charged with meaning
Litany Quotes : pic 001497087
Bychan: little one Cariad: sweetheart, beloved one Annwyl:
Litany Quotes : pic 000077559
Drudgery, calamity, exasperation, want, are instructors in eloquence and wisdom.
Litany Quotes : pic 000677567
The language of literature is the language of all the world. It is necessary to divest ourselves at once of the notion of diversified vocal and grammatical speech which constitutes the various tongues of the Earth, and conceals the identity of image and logic in the minds of all men.
Litany Quotes : pic 001489899
All good poetry is forged slowly and patiently, link by link, with sweat and blood and tears.
Litany Quotes : pic 000490906
Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed,
And daffodillies fill their cups with tears,
To strew the laureate to hearse when Lycid lies.
Litany Quotes : pic 000904696
The world of light and starry grace;
within your mind I live to trace.
Your thought's speed in thunder's glory,
lightening my being with dream's story.
I embrace the tree carrying your name
Your unspoken wish : the heart of fame.
Litany Quotes : pic 000377565
The love of books
is for children
who glimpse in them
a life to come, but
I have come
to that life and
feel uneasy
with the love of books.
This is my life,
time islanded
in poems of dwindled time.
Litany Quotes : pic 000393687
Poetry consists in a rhyming dictionary and things seen.

Litany Quotes : pic 001027570
A library of books is the fairest garden in the world, and to walk there is an ecstasy.
Litany Quotes : pic 000683023
There is nothing like books - of all things sold incomparably the cheapest, of all pleasure the least palling, they take up little room, keep quiet when they are not wanted, and, when taken up, bring us face to face with the choicest men who ever lived, at their choicest moments.
Litany Quotes : pic 000832478
Libraries, whether my own or shared with a greater reading public, have always seemed to me pleasantly mad places, and for as long as I can remember I've been seduced by their labyrinthine logic, which suggests that reason (if not art) rules over a cacophonous arrangement of books.
Litany Quotes : pic 001522524
Poetry is the thread that leads us out of the labyrinth of despair and into the light.
Litany Quotes : pic 000568263
A classic lecture, rich in sentiment, With scraps of thundrous Epic lilted out By violet-hooded Doctors, elegies And quoted odes, and jewels five-words-long, That on the stretched forefinger of all Time Sparkle for ever.
Litany Quotes : pic 000727618
Poetry is the insistent roaring of the human soul.
Litany Quotes : pic 001450631
Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library
Litany Quotes : pic 000413541
We are all a volume on the shelf of the ... library, a story unto ourselves, never possibly described with one word or even very accurately with thousands.
