Umberto Eco’s Antilibrary
“The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others — a very small minority — who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan.
صبري عليك طال- رجاء بلمليح
صبري عليك طال واحتار فيك امري
جفى ولا دلال خليت دمعي سال
عالخد صار يجري
يرضيك يا حال هم ليلي نار ما ترحم
يشكي على ابكم أصم
والحال وينك يا طول البال
يا شوق جوال في مواني الأمل يسأل
يحلف بقلبي لك محل
والحال وينك يا طول البال
سيد الوصال كم اعاني عذابي كم
الله يسامح من ظلم
والحال وينك يا طول البال
