The wonder that is MLS

The big wooden door
opens without a sound
The fans slowly turn
Look around,  there
The old wooden shelves
Standing majestic
Among the Indo Sassanian architecture

To the left,  books,
To be read
To the right, books
To be fixed
Straight ahead behind the desks
A tall shelf
Rising up to the sky,  with all kinds of books.

It is hard to decide
Where one must start
The old,
Or the new?
Classic, or fiction?
All equally attractive.

The library
with 200 years behind
Looking ahead,
To 200 more.
A treasure trove in the finding
A hive of knowledge in the reading.
