Memory is like the wind--no one knows where it comes fom or where it goes to when it is away. A witty man once suggested that it must be situated in the back of the head, becuase whenever anyone struggled to remember a particular date or event, he usually scratched there.

William Lyon Phelps was a Lampson Professor of English Literature at Yale University, and author of Happiness, Love, etc.
