Remembering Borges, a blind bibliophile ensconced in a library, I give thanks for my vision, a great gift one tends to take for granted.

if i ever underline it’s with a ruler – i can’t stand books underlined with wobbly markers and pens and crude scrawls – if you’re gonna do it, at least do it with some style
