Welcome to my attic

This is my tranquil place in cyberspace, where I write about books and music.


Lastly, we always go up the attic stairs,which are steeper and more primitive. For they bear the mark of ascension to a more tranquil solitude. When I return to dream in the attics of yester-year, I never go down again.

Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
