- Charles Baudelaire, La Fanfarlo

- Cicero
Sometimes it is necessary
To reteach a thing its loveliness.
- Galway Kinnell 'St.Francis and the Sow'
Why is there then
No more to tell? We turned to other things.
I haven't any memory-have you?-
Of ever coming to the place again.
- Robert Frost 'The exposed nest'
"I have done it" says my memory.
"I cannot have done it" says my pride,
refusing to budge. In the end-
my memory yields.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
A liar should have a good memory.
- Quintilian
But what do you keep of me?
The memory of my bones flying up into your hands.
- Anne Sexton 'The Surgeon'
