Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.
每一本書都是獨立的，就像一個家庭的房子，但是圖書館里的書就像城市里的房子。盡管它們相互獨立，但結(jié)合起來后便產(chǎn)生了意義；它們彼此相連，與其他城市相連。相同的思想或相關(guān)的思想出現(xiàn)在不同的地方；一再困擾人類生活的問題也在文學(xué)作品里反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，只是不同時代的著作呈現(xiàn)了不同的錦囊妙計。
