| Mar 10, 2014 at 6:27 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | Mistah Mix deleted his answer it seems, but the ambiguous quote is at the bottom of books.google.com/… -- "Out of the nursery into the college and back to the nursery; there's your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more." It doesn't seem clear what "back to the nursery" is a metaphor for, so it's hard to tell if he's talking about the "pattern" since widespread literacy (1500's or so when the printing press took off, basically consistent with a 21st century date for the story) or since they began the policy of burning books. | |

| Mar 9, 2014 at 23:06 | comment | added | Valorum | Bright phoenix (raybradbury.ru/library/story/63/2/0) wasn't published until 1963. The opening line is "One day in April 2022 the great library door slammed flat shut. Thunder. Hullo, I thought." | |
