“The unreality of the past weeks lifted like a fog, but its residue remained. All of the past is like that, but most especially the parts that are out of the ordinary.”
“I was of the opinion that the past is past, and like all that is not now it should remain buried along the side of our memories.”
“The Future is, of all things, the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.”
“There were things in my past which I have not liked. But all the things of which I was proud will remain.”
“When we think of the past it's the beautiful things we pick out. We want to believe it was all like that.”
“The past was like a bad dream; the future was all happy holiday as I moved Southwards week by week, easily, lazily, lingering as long as I dared, but always heeding the call!”
