My Summary: The poet talks about one moment of silence. I loved the description of the silence that ensues when an old man, a small boy etc are engrossed in reading. The setting- a room full of books, is an ideal atmosphere where one can revel in silence. The poet lays emphasises this point by using the refrain, Lost in the moment, in that quietness of absence,

Who dwells serene, in that calmness of silence?'

The poem is for all the bibliophiles out there
