I say that the Library is unending. The idealists argue that the
|
|
hexagonal rooms are a necessary form of absolute space or, at least, of our
|
|
intuition of space. They reason that a triangular or pentagonal room is
|
|
inconceivable. (The mystics claim that their ecstasy reveals to them a circular
|
|
chamber containing a great circular book, whose spine is continuous and which
|
|
follows the complete circle of the walls; but their testimony is suspect; their
|
|
words, obscure. This cyclical book is God.) Let it suffice now for me to repeat the
|
|
classic dictum: The Library is a sphere whose exact center is any one of its
|
|
hexagons and whose circumference is inaccessible. |
