Books
are
not
absolutely
dead
things,
but
do
contain
a
potency
of
life
in
them
to
be
as
active
as
that
soul
was
whose
progeny
they
are;
nay,
they
do
preserve
as
in
a
vial
the
purest
efficacy
and
extraction
of
that
living
intellect
that
bred
them.
I
know
they
are
as
lively,
and
as
vigorously
productive,
as
those
fabulous
dragon's
teeth;
and
being
sown
up
and
down,
may
chance
to
spring
up
armed
men.
And
yet,
on
the
other
hand,
unless
wariness
be
used,
as
good
almost
kill
a
man
as
kill
a
good
book.
Who
kills
a
man
kills
a
reasonable
creature,
God's
image;
but
he
who
destroys
a
good
book,
kills
reason
itself,
kills
the
image
of
God,
as
it
were
in
the
eye.
Many
a
man
lives
a
burden
to
the
earth;
but
a
good
book
is
the
precious
life-blood
of
a
master
spirit,
embalmed
and
treasured
up
on
purpose
to
a
life
beyond
life.
The replay is still saving.
