Moving day. You gave away the couch, the dishes, half the closet. Every box of books made it onto the truck.

"…but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit…"
— John Milton
Areopagitica, 1644. We check every line against a primary source.

In 1660, after the king returned, two of Milton's own titles were burned by the common hangman. They outlasted the fire.

The ribbon is ours: a page marker hung beside the line worth keeping.

Wear it to the used bookstore. Leave with more than you meant to.
