1	They dwell in the odor of camphor, they stand in a Sheraton shrine, they are "warranted early editions," These worshipful tomes of mine. In their creamiest "Oxford vellum," In their redolent, "crushed Levant," with their delicate watered linings, they are jewels of price, I grant. Blind-tooled and morocco-jointed, they have Zaehnsdorf's daintiest dress, they are graceful, attenuate, polished, but they gather the dust, no less. For the row that I prize is yonder, away on the unglazed shelves, the bulged and the bruised octavos, the dear and the dumpy twelves. Montaigne with his sheepskins blistered, and Howell the worse for wear, and the worm-drilled Jesuits's Horace, and the little old cropped Moliere, and the Burton I bought for a florin, and the Rabelais foxed and flea'd, for the others I never have opened, but those are the books I read.
