To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

Just Stunning
Take a minute and scroll through these pictures. They're stunning.
What are you thinking, woman? Summon the servants.
John, I can't imagine anything more restful than spending my entire life in that library. The vow of silence would pose no challenge if that was the reward.
Wow--very cool photos, Carol! (Feeling very small as I am about to paint my garage:(
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to hop on a plane to Europe and see them all with my own eyes. Thanks for the armchair journey!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this one? "The stunning library from Kresmunster Abbey in Austria" A bibliophile's idea of heaven on Earth. Amazing!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I must admit a ereader pales in comparison.
