The Making Of Many Books Poem by Shalom Freedman

The Making Of Many Books



‘The making of many books
Is a weariness of the flesh'
For me it was not that at all
It was my life

But it probably is a vanity of vanities

My breath is not better than your breath
And when I have no breath
Your breath will be better than mine

‘What you don't know will fill forty books'
Said my father
It is well beyond that

I do fear God
But will that save me?
