The man who raves of classic writers, but

Is found to keep them with their leaves uncut;

The man who looks on literature as news,

And gets his culture from the book reviews;

Who loves not fair, clean type, and margins wide—

Or loves these better than the thought inside;

Who buys his books to decorate the shelf,

Or gives a book he has not read himself;

Who reads from priggish motives, or for looks,

Or any reason save the love of books—
