Life and death have been lacking in my life.

I am interested in the past. Perhaps one of the reasons is we cannot make, cannot change the past. I mean you can hardly unmake the present. But the past after all is merely to say a memory, a dream. You know my own past seems continually changed when I am remembering it, or reading things that are interesting to me.

Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.
