Comments on: Imaginary Libraries In The City Of London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/02/19/imaginary-libraries-in-the-city-of-london/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 25 Jan 2015 12:48:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Miriam Pope https://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/02/19/imaginary-libraries-in-the-city-of-london/#comment-802030 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 12:48:14 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=108021#comment-802030 Dear Gentle Author,
Once again, I must launch this message in a bottle across the ocean.
Thanks to you and now Adam Dant, for opening up the mind to the infinite possibilities, and history, around London, and therefore, the world. Tomorrow, when I return to my work as teacher-keeper of the lower school library here in Brooklyn, these fresh ideas will be further disseminated.

Gentle reader

According to Borgesian principles, these libraries
will be built in futurity.

Like the Paris photographs of Marville and Atget. Early morning light, empty and haunted.

Could it be that once there was a debtor’s prison there?

Dr. Francis Anthony, who was not, after all, my ancestor, went to the Compter Prison (Wood St.?) a few times for misbehaviour (and pride, not to mention dispensing toxic “medicines”).

Would like to find out more about the Walbrook Stepped Library (what’s that?) and the Wall Reading Rooms…

Love & Peace
