    I’m glad to be the guardian of one of those vaults and treasure chests! :) Great quote. It reminded me that I should read more Manguel. I’ve only read The Library at Night.

Thank you for commenting! For a long while, my health precluded me replying to everyone. Yet I missed the conversation, so I'm now making an effort to reply again. It might take a few days though, and there will be times when I simply can't. Regardless, I always read and value what you say.
