Paradise between the pages
The ancient archives awaited
Waited for centuries to hear my timid footsteps on the stone floor.
Finally I was here
I peered through the window and saw a fantastic world of opportunity and adventure
Of science fiction and fantasy
of romance and intrigue
mystery and danger
I pushed through the doors and entered heaven
I found myself in a world of stories, a world of knowledge,
a world of books
I'm not sure when I'll return home so don't wait up................
State Library of NSW, Sydney - February 2014
Nice. The thing about libraries is all that human endeavour and knowledge in one place; quite awesome sometimes. But they don't do beer, which can be a drawback. Many (belated) happy returns, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. I don't think beer in libraries would work - cocktails however would be another story.......
DeleteWow... what an incredible library that is!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is William. I wish I could go there more often :)
