A book is an enigma in which no time exists, and as it is read it brings the reader into its eternal being, for while it sits closed on a shelf it is no more than a forgotten memory, yet when it is opened its contents come to life and its characters and locations are once more existent in the same state as when they were written, the story becomes once more reality. A BOOK IS AN ENIGMA IN WHICH NO TIME EXISTS AND AS IT IS READ IT BRINGS THE READER INTO ITS ETERNAL BEING FOR WHILE IT SITS CLOSED ON A SHELF IS NO MORE THAN A FORGOTTEN MEMORY YET WHEN IT IS OPENED ITS CONTENTS COME TO LIFE AND ITS CHARACTERS AND LOCATIONS ARE ONCE MORE EXISTENT IN THE SAME STATE AS WHEN THEY WERE WRITTEN THE STORY BECOMES ONE MORE REALITY
uam perit, truth never dies. Going back to what I said before, namely that at my manuscript's discovery my demise will itself be history: I am assured that such is true, for even now as I write this my death is near at hand. How wide the abyss of time that separates us is I cannot tell, but I do know that it is beyond the reckoning of men, such an unknown barrage of hollow, formless years. Yet as you read this it is as if I were speaking directly to you, despite all of the desolation between our times. That is what makes history an organic being, and by history I mean all of the past, or all of the future, depending on your viewpoint. A book is a connection between times and peoples, more so than any other medium. As I put these words down in writing, it is as if I am imparting my very self into the pages. And as you read them, the name Jehu slowly forms into an image, into a personality, and from the empty word Jehu comes the great well of affection springing from a personal intimacy.  THAT VERITUS UMAICUM PERITE TRUTH NEVER PERISHES GOING BACK TO WHAT I SAID BEFORE NAMELY THAT AT MY MANUSCRIPTS DISCOVERY MY DEMISE WILL ITSELF BE HISTORY I AM ASSURED THAT SUCH IS TRUE FOR EVEN NOW AS I WRITE THIS MY DEATH IS NEAR AT HAND HOW WIDE THE ABYSS OF TIME THAT SEPARATES US IS I CANNOT TELL BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS BEYOND THE RECKONING OF MEN SUCH AN UNKNOWN BARRIAGE OF HOLLOW FORMLESS YEARS YET AS YOU READ THIS IT IS AS IF I WERE SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO YOU DESPITE ALL OF THE DESOLATION BETWEEN OUR TIMES THAT IS WHAT MAKES HISTORY AN ORGANIC BEING AND BY HISTORY I MEAN ALL OF THE PAST OR ALL OF THE FUTURE DEPENDING ON YOUR VIEWPOINT A BOOK IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN TIMES AND PEOPLES MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER MEDIUM AS I PUT THESE WORDS DOWN IN WRITING IT IS AS IF I AM IMPARTING MY VERY SELF INTO THE PAGES AND AS YOU READ THEM THE NAME JEHO SLOWLY FORMS INTO AN IMAGE INTO A PERSONALITY AND FROM THE EMPTY WORD JEHOO COMES THE GREAT WELL OF AFFECTION SPRINGING FROM A PERSONAL INTIMACY
