"The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you the knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination."
- Elizabeth Hardwick, American literary critic, novelist, and short story writer. (July 27, 1916 - December 2, 2007)
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
