When at evening in the vale I walk,
Wrapt in memories of dear Lucille;
When among the violets I lie,
All my hours of love before me steal.

Earth and heaven was this maid to me,
And her voice the song of lark and wren;
Now that she hath left my heart I know
Through the love of women God makes men.

If in distant countries I should dwell
With a people strange and proudly cold,
I would always see my long lost love
In the heart of dying marigold.
Fenton Johnson


The memories of long love gather like drifting
snow, poignant as the mandarin ducks who float
side by side in sleep.
Lady Murasaki


Memories

Hands
Reaching out
Finding
Once again

The memory
Lingers still
Reunited
With a friend

Remember once
When skin was soft
Ido
Catie Farrell




Memory Chamber

Memory is the cabinet of imagination, the
treasury of reason, the registry of
conscience, and the council chamber of thought.
Basil


Memory...
is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Oscar Wilde


Flexible Memory

If Memory is more flexible in childhood, it
is more tenacious in mature age; if childhood
has sometimes the memory of words, old age
has that of things, which impress themselves
according to the clearness of the conception of
the thought which we wish to retain.
Bonstetten


Memory Treasure

A memory without blot or contamination must
be an exquisite treasure, an inexhaustible
source of pure refreshment.
Charlotte Bronte


Memory Sorrow

Joy's recollection is no longer joy,
while sorrow's memory is sorrow still.
Byron


Memory and Art

The true art of memory is the art of attention.
Johnson


Memory Wisdom?

Memory is not wisdom;
idiots can by rote repeat volumes.
Yet what is wisdom without memory?
Tupper


Memory, the Book of Judgement

That memory is the book of judgment, I can
well believe. Have, indeed, seen the same
thing asserted in modern books, and accompanied
by a remark which I am convinced is true,
namely: that the dread book of account, which
the Scriptures speak of is, in fact, the
mind itself of each individual. Of this,
at least, I feel assured that there is no
such thing forgetting, possible to the mind;
a thousand accidents may and will interpose
a veil between our present consciousness
and the secret inscriptions on the mind;
accidents of the same sort will also rend
away this veil; but whether veiled or
unveilded, the inscription remains forever;
just as the stars seem to withdraw before
the common light of day; whereas, in fact,
we know that it is the light which is drawn
over them as a veil, and that they are
waiting to be revealed, when the obscuring
daylight shall withdraw.
De Quincy
