Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:

Helluo Liborium: An obsessive and insatiable bookworm

Lectory: A reading place

Tsundoku: Refers to the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them.

Gyles' poem this week was ‘The Mountain’ by Emily Dickinson:

The mountain sat upon the plain

In his eternal chair,

His observation omnifold,

His inquest everywhere.

The seasons prayed around his knees,

Like children round a sire:

Grandfather of the days is he,

Of dawn the ancestor.
