3. “I was a few years ago at Glastonbury in
Somerset, where the most ancient and at
the same time most famous monastery in
our whole island is located. I had intended
… to refresh my mind, wearied with a long
course of study, when a burning desire to
read and to learn inflamed me afresh.
So I straightway went to the library, which is
not open to all, in order to examine most
diligently all the relics of most sacred
antiquity, of which there is so great a
number that it is not easily paralleled
anywhere else in Britain.
Scarcely had I crossed the threshold when
the mere sight of the most ancient books
took my mind with an awe or stupor of
some kind, and for that reason I stopped in
my tracks a little while. Then, having paid
my respects to the deity of the place, I
examined all the bookcases for some days
with the greatest interest.”
