"It is the eternal in books that makes them our friends and teachers—the paragraphs, the verses, that grip memory and ring down the years like bells, or call like bugles, or sound like trumpets; words of vision that open to us undying things and fix our eyes on them.”
Other essays collected here include "Mind Soul Ink Paper," "Living the Past," and "Our Father."
