C-Span's Book TV recently presented video of Robert Darnton, Director of the Harvard University Library and eminent historian of the book, giving a talk at Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, MA. In the talk, which took place in early February, Darnton discussed The Case for
Books: Past, Present, and Future. He also shared information on his latest book, The Devil in
the Holy Water, or the Art of Slander from Louis XIV to Napoleon and the newly released translation of the eighteenth-century French libertine novel, The Bohemians. The program is available for online viewing at www.booktv.org.

La medida de la sobriedad.
El sonido
del ave alegre
me llama, en
la eternidad
del cielo
cristalino;
siento silente
el triste recuerdo
que regresa
en el sol,
duermo feliz
en el canto
dichoso.
