is like an infant's soul, in which anything may be written.

There are
books so alive that you're always afraid that while you
weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted
like a river; while you went on living, it went on living
too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has
stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step
twice into the same book?
-- Marina Tsvetaeva
1892-1941, Russian Poet
A good book is
