Tri Budhi Sastrio
According to FB there are three kinds of books.
Books to be tasted, books to be swallowed
And books to be chewed and digested.
They are different in quality indeed but
they are still books.
Students need them badly not only because
They are the quietest and the most constant friend
But also because they are the most accessible and the wisest counselor.
They are also the most patient teacher in the world.
That's what Charles W. Eliot says
In The Durable Satisfactions of Life. So let's
Praise the books, students, praise the scrolls!
Grab them, read them, let them be your pharos
In sailing the sea of codex, in plodding the sphere of rolls.
There is nothing wrong to be sunk in great books!
