Good day,

In "Mathematical Writing" by D. E. Knuth, T. Larrabee and P. M. Roberts, 
paragraph 22, class of November 9, p. 47 in Notes by PMR:

	Don's secret delight, he confessed today, is to "play a library
	as if it were a musical instrument."  Using a resources of a great
	library to solve a specific problem---now, _that_, to him, is 
	real living.

Cheers,
