__**Poets and Poetry:**__

Books to the ceiling, Books to the sky. My pile of books Are a mile high. How I love them! How I need them! I'll have a long beard By the time I read them. ~ Arnold Lobel ~

For books are more than books, they are the life The very heart and core of ages past, The reason why men lived and worked and died, The essence and quintessence of their lives. - From "Boston Athenaeum" by Amy Lowell
