When memory fails to contain us we must love the past more than ever, to hold it to us-or else the present becomes a meaningless blaze of color and sound, in which no two humans, great elongate beings, will be able to do more than touch at their very lips, their spatial selves-no one will ever truly understand another. To love the past is to become fully human.
