Beyond the Black Spectacles

Book excerpt: There’s a hush in the quiet Black dark secrets of Princeton’s Place. It’s a secret that goes beyond the shackles of space time hidden beyond the spectacles of the librarians here tending to the night desk of the Firestone Library at Princeton University. YOU are headed in the space beyond the librarian’s Black spectacles, a Black space of knowledge and understanding filled with the surprise outside the void suspicious called, Black. The librarian’s eyes mirror those of a mole buried in the moss of brown dirt. She lies in the smell of fresh rain water and curated soil called, words. It is magical space and only opens one’s eyes through the magnification beyond marginalized vocabulary called, books. It’s a magnification of another adventure. But YOU have to get your hands on the black specs first.
