Locked up !

I only realised the truth of "I am never less alone, than when I am alone," when I was recently inadvertently locked up in a the library of the village.

Admittedly the library is only a very modest one, but it treasures a few hundred thousand books nonetheless. What are missing are the latest technologies. There is not, in fact, a signal that warns users of closing time.

Truly chronometers on the wrists or hanging on the walls are not enough for the absorbed user. to make matters even worse, the cellular mobile telephone was left behind.

There was nothing else to do except waiting for opening hours in the following morning, and pass the time with all the names that populated the library.

There was time enough to meet Dickens, Stevenson and Hugo. They were so kind to let me share their writing imagination. In the silence of that night, an angelic whisper drew my attention. It was Juliet who so tenderly let me into the secrets of her love. The bard's lines became astonishingly meaningful.

It was indeed very saddening that the break of light put an abrupt end to my fortunate misfortune.

Maybe next time to be locked up I shall meet more of my friends on the shelves.
