To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is a pleasure beyond compare.

Ambient Setting

Lamplight is associated with times before electricity, invoking a historical or classic vibe.

Historical Context

Writers use 'lamplight' to create mood and scene in literature, often signaling intimacy or secrecy.
