About me I am rather fond of Poetry and of books.

About my library * * * * * * * * * * * *
Only my books anoint me,
and a few friends,
those who reach into my veins.
-Anne Sexton

Yet I am in love with words.
They are doves falling out of the ceiling.
They are six holy oranges sitting in my lap.
They are the trees, the legs of summer,
and the sun, its passionate face.
--more Anne Sexton

Only in books the flat and final happens,
Only in dreams we meet and interlock....
- Philip Larkin

Library Ode

New eyes each year
Find old books here,
And new books,too,
Old eyes renew;
So youth and age
Like ink and page
In this house join,
Minting new coin.

-more Philip Larkin
