“The smell of my uncle's enormous library would accompany me all the days of my life: the dusty, enticing odor of seven hidden wisdoms, the smell of a silent, secluded life devoted to scholarship, the life of a secretive hermit, the severe silence of ghost billowing up from the deepest wells of knowledge, the whisper of dead sages, outpouring of secret thoughts of long-buried authors, the cold caress of the desires of preceding generations. p.47-48”
