There is no edged thing in all this night, 
Save in my breast.
Dorothy Parker

THE ART OF READING

in Thoughts on literature by

“Reading is an act of contemplation, perhaps the only act in which we allow ourselves to merge with the consciousness of another human being. We possess the books we read, animating the waiting stillness of their language, but they possess us also, filling us with thoughts and observations, asking us to make them part of ourselves.”

The Artist and His Model – Alexei Harlamoff, 1875
