On Memory
In the musical History Boys, Hector said to Posner - "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours."*
The first few lines from Rabindranath Tagore's book My Reminiscences#:
I do not know who painted the pictures of my life imprinted on my memory. But whoever he is, he is an artist. He does not take up his brush to simply copy everything that happens; he retains or omits things just as he fancies; he makes many a things small and small things big; he does not hesitate to exchange things in the foreground with things in the background. In short his task is to paint pictures, not to write history.
His task - is to paint pictures. Not write history.
