Description
Another library photo.Do I have an odd obsession with them....maybe
This one is a photo of the George Peabody Library, with my own taste
Based on the poem 'Visiting the Library in a Strange City' by Franz Wright:
The words reappear, slowly
developing
on a vast unknown
but precise number of pages
as I enter: the great building
empty of visitors
except for me, reading
the minds of the deadβ
moving with exaggerated
and slow-motion care,
as when assigned to lead
the blind kid to his classroom
forty years ago,
down rows
between dusty volumes, a light
snow beginning.
