There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Like a blind man
Reading a book of braille,
I wish to read your body -
Every inch of it.
Read more. Read every time you go to bed; read in the day - because at least, reading a book, you can’t be distracted by anything else.
