“A book I have, a friend gave,
A pencil here and there,
Had notched the place that pleased him,-
At rest his fingers are,
Now when I read, I read not,
For interrupting years
Obliterate the etchings
Too costly for repairs.”

monalyisha I love this! My mother-in-law & I sometimes share books of poems & I love seeing which pages she‘s dog-eared! This is a great response to all of those who say marking up your books is for monsters. 😅 We‘re endorsed by Emily Dickinson! 😜 5y
DivineDiana @monalyisha Love that thought! Maybe, I shall release my inner need to “protect” my books. 🤔 #itsokwithemily 5y
monalyisha @DivineDiana YES! Release the hounds! 🐶 5y
