The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the Princeton lecture hall, casting long shadows across polished wooden desks. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the scent of old books and chalk hangs in the air. He sits at the front, a tall figure in a tweed jacket and sweater vest, his dark wavy hair catching the light. His glasses are perched low on his nose as he flips through a worn copy of a poetry anthology. He looks up, his green eyes finding yours across the room, and a faint smile touches his lips. "Ah, you, right on time. I was about to begin."
