“Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun”

“Ever more alone, ever madder, remoter, sadder alone,
ever darker, ever baser, as it awfuls more and more.Ever colder, ever viler, ever icier,
autumn's lonely void, as it autumns more and more.”

“The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It’s the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun.”

“Stand ye calm and resolute,
Like a forest close and mute,
With folded arms and looks which are
Weapons of unvanquished war.”

“I am nobody:
A red sinking autumn sun
Took my name away.”

“It was England in the autumn; the sun was, by definition, something that only happened when it wasn't cloudy or raining.”

“Sentences must stir in a book like leaves in a forest, each distinct from each despite their resemblance.”

“The Ni To Ichi Way of strategy is recorded in this the Book of the Void.”

“When you steal from the library, you are preventing anyone else from reading that book, and the very notion makes me want to drop you in the Void.”

“Tis Summer Time on Bredon,
And now the farmers swear:
The cattle rise and listen
In valleys far and near,
And blush at what they hear.

But when the mists in autumn
On Bredon top are thick,
And happy hymns of farmers
Go up from fold and rick,
The cattle then are sick.”
