The Library

A curious place.

Save for traditional churches or morgues, perhaps no other place in the world is sacrosanct as to preserving silence than libraries. There is a traditional layer of respect within Western society that upon entering a library, respect and silence are deemed proper and expected. And just as one would not loudly shout and speak in disrespect at a local church or morgue, so too does no cultured and civilized individual violate the sanctity of a library.

What few know, however, is that a library is a form of morgue: it's shelves, containing rows and rows of books, are therefore stacked with the very embodiment of Osiris.

This article will delve into the philosophical underpinning of libraries and with it, send you into a journey of mythological decoding.
