Listen to how the light strikes through the glass
to cast its color on the concrete. It traveled here
from millions of miles away, only for us to call it art
in the last few feet. It's all a matter of perspective:
which direction the light is shining, which shadows
can be considered art, what the word "beautiful" means
to the beholder. Behold this art, the book above us,
with its rainbow pages like windows to other worlds
the same as any other book, only more vivid.
This book will stand the test of time, withstand
wind and weather, all to serve as a lighthouse
on the shore of literary landscapes.
