Understanding this quote
The quote treats books as signs of thought and inner life. Calling a bookless house “a house without a soul” makes the absence feel deeper than a lack of objects: the home is presented as empty of ideas. The final comparison with cemeteries sharply emphasizes this point by linking the absence of books with places understood here as lacking active thought and life.
