'I counsel thee, shut not thy heart nor thy library'
CHARLES LAMB
To my colleagues and students at Girton College, Cambridge 1913-20
For if heuene be on this erthe . and ese to any soule,
It is in cloistere or in scole . by many skilles I fynde;
For in cloistre cometh no man . to chide ne to fizte,
But alle is buxomnesse there and bokes . to rede and to lerne,
In scole there is scorne . but if a clerke wil lerne,
And grete loue and lykynge . for eche of hem loueth other.
--LANGLAND, Piers Plowman
