Lisboa and the library of the bats

at day words are read feverishly

by students of the past seeking illumination for their future

by dint of an oculus

at night whole caudrons of stange black hooded creatures

like the playthings of the devil

swoop for to frighten tiny creatures intent on dissolving the wisdom of ages

leaflets

paragraphs

books

ages

all gone like dust swept up in a desert storm

they are the friends of wisdom
