Inkvater Day 14 • Castle

I136 Monmouth was a hungry-looking brick factory, gutted and black-eyed, growing out of an overgrown lot that took up nearly all of a block. A clue to the building's original identity was painted on the eastern side of the building: MONMOUTH MANUFACTURING… Two of the walls were made up of old windows, dozens of tiny, warped panes, except for a few clear ones Gansey had replaced.

"We had turned towards home and, at the top of a rise, I saw the gables of Monmouth House, bleak in the distance. [...] empty corridors, old gas-jets, the key turning in the lock of my room. [...] it was silver and alien with moonlight, the window still open and the Parmenides open on the desk where I had left it; a half drunk coffee from the snack bar stood beside it, cold in its styrofoam cup. The room was chilly but I didn't shut the window. Instead, I lay down on my bed, without taking off my shoes, without turning on the light.

As I lay on my side, staring at a pool of white moonlight on the wooden floor, a gust of wind blew the curtains out, long and pale as ghosts. As though an invisible hand were leafing through them, the pages of the Parmenides rippled back and forth." The Secret History, Donna Tart

"1136 Monmouth was a hungry-looking brick factory, gutted and black-eyed, growing out of an overgrown lot that took up nearly all of a block. A clue to the building's original identity was painted on the eastern side of the building: MONMOUTH MANUFACTURING. [...] The high ceiling soared above them, exposed iron beams holding up the roof. Gansey's invented apartment was a dreamer's laboratory. The entire second floor, thousands of square feet, spread out before them. Two of the walls were made up of windows- dozens of tiny, warped panes, except for a few clear ones Gansey had replaced- and the other two walls were covered in maps: the mountains of Virginia, of Wales, of Europe. Marker lines arced across each of them. Across the floor, a telescope peered at the western sky; at its feet lay pulled of arcane electronics meant to measure magnetic activity.

And everywhere, everywhere, there were books. Not the tidy stacks of an intellectual attempting to impress, but the slumping piles of a scholar obsessed." The Raven Boys, Maggie Stiefvater
