(urth) Quotations

[Gerry Quinn]

Welcome!

What's the question?  I'm guessing you are asking where the apparent quotations come from.

I did a google search out of curiosity but found nothing useful.  Perhaps Wolfe got them somewhere obscure, or perhaps he invented them!  Maybe somebody else has a clue.

  Hi all

   

  I've just joined the list and hope to be an active participant in discussions. Please forgive me if the following question has already been addressed, I haven't had time to work my way through the archives .

   

  When Severian meets Ultan in the library, the Master Librarian quotes the following lines to him:

   

  'Of the trail of ink there is no end.'

  'A man will give his life to the turning over of a collection of books.'

   

  Thanks in advance for your responses.

   

  Matt
