To glean eidolons


Last night was spent euphorically touring a true gem, the Providence Athenæum. 'Tis truly surreal to touch with your own fingers hand-signed copies of Witman's Leaves of Grass (one of the two). Or purusing through a book that Edgar Allan Poe took out when living in Providence. This library is simply a dream come true, straight out of your childhood imagination.

Thank you Christina for the tour and the invitation!
