The quote "The letters, and the written words that they present, are not subject to the flux of growth and decay, to the perturbations and cyclical changes common to other visible things they seem to hover, as it were, in another strangely timeless dimension " from chapter 4 was what I responded to most from the chapter. For me, the mirrors create a timeless environment for the word to sit in. Also Abram talks about the process of looking at a word while contemplating its meaning. The word reflection in the mirrors forces the viewer to process the meaning of the word, while looking at the word at the same time.
