"captured and carried off to myself" in a sentence

I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them--with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself.   (One Writer's Beginnings by Eudora Welty)

I have two questions about this sentence.

1) What does "carry off" mean here?

2) Is "captured and carried off to myself" a complement of the subject "I"?

Thanks
