If a thousand books slam shut at once, does it make a wound?

I watched the best minds of all generations set aside their books and bleed onto the road, leaving tracks in blood as they shuffled away, tracks that dimmed and faded the farther they moved away from the libraries they had abandoned.  

If ten thousand more books slam shut after they are gone on the hands of those who long for their knowledge...who will be there to hear?
