Someone is reading in a deepening room Where something happens, something that will come
To happen again, happening as many times As she is reading in as many rooms.

The Library Walk, is a venture launched in 1996 by the New York Public Library, Grand Central Partnership and New Yorker Magazine, in which are embedded in bronze plaques quotes from well-known books, or those dealing with books and literature. The panels designed by artist Gregg LeFevre were laid in 1998 from the New York Public Library building along 41st Street.
Excerpts from a poem by the American poet, literary critic and translator Robert Pinski appear on the plaque.
