Browning
1806-1861, British
Poet
Books,
books, books had found the secret of a garret-room
piled high with cases in my father's name; Piled
high, packed large, --where, creeping in and out
among the giant fossils of my past, like some small
nimble mouse between the ribs of a mastodon, I
nibbled here and there at this or that box, pulling
through the gap, in heats of terror, haste,
victorious joy, the first book first. And how I felt
it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark. An
hour before the sun would let me read! My books!
-- Elizabeth Barrett
Browning
1806-1861, British

When a
book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble
and manly thoughts, seek for no other test of its
excellence. It is good, and made by a good workman.
