To open almost any book a second time is to be reminded that we had forgotten well-nigh everything that the writer told us.

When we're looking at visual objects, I think our eyes are obviously directed outward, so there's not as much reflective time. And it's the reflectiveness and the spiritual inwardness about reading that appeals to me.
