Arthur Owen Barfield was a prominent British philosopher, poet, and author who, along with C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and others, was a member of the infamous Inklings. Lewis, in particular, was highly influenced by Barfield whom Lewis called ''wisest and best of my unofficial teachers." He is perhaps best known for his work Poetic Diction. Barfield's contributions to other authors of the time like T.S. Eliot and J.R.R. Tolkien cannot be overestimated.
We highly resonate with this quote of Barfield's which is, perhaps, a felt experience by all learned readers and lovers of books:
“...library terror - that feeling of being hopelessly overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of available books...”― Owen Barfield, Night Operation
