Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history
is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and
speculation at a standstill.
- [Books]
So gorgeous was the spectacle on the May morning of 1910 when
nine kings rode in the funeral of Edward VII that the crowd,
waiting in hushed and black-clad awe, could not keep back gasps
of admiration.
