  • The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents' memories on special occasions perhaps-no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work.

It is delusion all-- The future cheats us from afar: Nor can we be what we recall, Nor dare we think on what we are.
