The soul that feeds on books alone - I count that soul exceeding small That lives alone by book and creed,- A soul that has not learned to read. (Joaquin Miller)

The soul that feeds on books alone - I count that soul exceeding small That lives alone by book and creed,- A soul that has not learned to read.
