ho_skoteinos finds that his library is his Greek temple:
In this way of thinking, the library can be a "Greek temple" in the sense that it too sets-up a world and sets forth the earth. But to be of real honesty, as was said in The Origin of the Work of Art, things that have grown ordinary lose this sense of truth in them. The library too may be subject to such "falling-into-the-ordinary", by way of borrowing Heidegger's way of speech, as artworks too if they are merely seen as things, as objects, with no regard to what they are in themselves.
