When you did get back home you prolonged the enjoyment of your trip by telling all your friends how miserable you had been. The more you talked about the miseries of life in the woods, the more you wanted to get back out there and start suffering again. Camping was a fine and pleasant misery.”

Unexpected cracks have appeared. Cracks through which the light of the past streams in. And yet we are supposed to have forgotten everything. The waters of the Lethe aren’t what they used to be.”
