"These things are cultural debris," a friend of Russell Kirk's once said to him in regard to unwanted, rare classical books. "It's as if a great ship had sunk, but a few trifles of flotsam had bobbed up from the hulk and were drifting on the surface of the ocean. Who wants this sea-drift? Not the sharks. You and I are going about in a small boat collecting bits of debris."
