“There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away,
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears a Human soul.”
(Emily Dickinson, ‘There is no Frigate like a Book’)

At 4am, before most of us are awake, College is sometimes painted in shades of pink. 🌆Our night porter, Vincent, calls them 'cotton candy skies' — and we think that's exactly what they look like!🍭☁️
"Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
(from William Shakespeare, 'The Tempest', act 4, scene 1)
