In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors.”
― Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

“নিঃসঙ্গতা

অতটুকু চায়নি বালিকা!
অত শোভা, অত স্বাধীনতা!
চেয়েছিল আরো কিছু কম,
আয়নার দাঁড়ে দেহ মেলে দিয়ে
বসে থাকা সবটা দুপুর, চেয়েছিল
মা বকুক, বাবা তার বেদনা দেখুক!
অতটুকু চায়নি বালিকা!
অত হৈ রৈ লোক, অত ভীড়, অত সমাগম!
চেয়েছিল আরো কিছু কম!
একটি জলের খনি
তাকে দিক তৃষ্ণা এখনি, চেয়েছিল
একটি পুরুষ তাকে বলুক রমণী!”
― আবুল হাসান

― Victoria Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic
