• The porter spends his days in the Library keeping strict vigil over this catacomb of books, passing along between the shelves and yet never paying heed to the almost audible susurrus of desire- the desire every book has to be taken down and read, to live, to come into being in somebody's mind. He even hands the volumes over the counter, seeks them out in their proper places or returns them there without once realising that a Book is a Person and not a Thing.

• For the May Day is the great day,
  Sung along the old straight track.
  And those who ancient lines did ley
  Will heed this song that calls them back...
  Pass the cup, and pass the Lady,
  And pass the plate to all who hunger,
  Pass the wit of ancient wisdom,
  Pass the cup of crimson wonder.

  Jethro Tull
