Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw

This is one part of The Duke Humfrey's Library which was added by Sir Thomas Bodley (who the Bodleian is now named after) who offered to restore it in 1598. When he was attending Oxford University, the library did not even have a ceiling as it had been stripped and abandoned during the Reformation.

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

— quote by Edgar Allan Poe from 'A Dream Within a Dream', 1849

Thought I find these book pages pretty at shcool so I'm sharing them here. Truly admirable how an artist was able to create such a masterpieces like these.

Book from 1902 about womenhood. Florence Dressler, Feminology: A Guide for Womankind, Giving in Detail Instructions as to Motherhood, Maidenhood, and the Nursery

An educator treating this subject speaks as follows: I would place myself on the side of those who, in science and art, would offer to woman all the opportunities that — until lately — were all but monopolized by man: for culture, by enriching the powers and expanding the views of womanas a human being, widens her scope, and increases her efficiency as a mother. I would rather place myself on the side of those who ask of young men and young women equal attention to social amenities, and who consider husbandry as important to the young man as housewifery to the young woman. [p. 398]
