FAHRENHEIT 451

No books allowed

Funny cartoons uncritical

Pictures for entertaining

They burn classics

Shakespeare, Dickens, Dante

Burnt at the stake

No books at school, no dictionaries

No history, no biographies

Burn whole libraries

A Fireman's job

An Applauding mob

Flamethrowers make singing pages turn

Creating poetical bonfires

Sweltering heat at 451 degrees

Ashes to ashes

Lifelong people being spied

Lifelong people spy

Where can I hide that book?

Look around, just look

In the baby's pram, the ventilation shaft?

Read at night, read with electric light?

Who informs?

Your neighbour or your wife

Literally destroying literary life
