Oh, Siena. A place caught between the jagged edge of Florence’s rising supremacy and the crumbling uncertainty of the plague. A city where, for a few extraordinary decades, paint—glorious, unruly, temperamental paint—became not just a medium but a language, a prayer, and a way of seeing. The Met’s exhibition, Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300-1350, feels like a forgotten letter from the past, an intimate conversation with artists who understood the very human business of beauty....

You know that feeling you get when you step into a place that feels timeless, like it’s been waiting for you? You’ll find it as soon as you pass through the doors of the New York Public Library’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. The city hums outside, its noise thick and impatient, but here, inside, it’s like the world pauses. The usual rush of Manhattan drips away, muffled by thick stone walls and the quiet rhythm of pages turning....

El poeta onubense confiesa que «los versos surgen como el agua de la fuente, con naturalidad, nada más sencillo que el agua cuando fluye sin cortapisas. Y el agua sacia la sed, como la poesía»

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
