"Strange that the mind
will forget so much of what only this moment has passed and yet
hold clear and bright the memory of what happened years ago of
men and women long since dead. Yet who shall say what is real
and what is not? Can I believe my friends all gone when their
voices are still a glory in my ears?
No.
And I will stand to say no and no again for they remain a living
truth within my mind. There is no fence nor hedge around time
that has gone. You can go back and have what you like of it if
you can remember so I can close my eyes on my valley as it is
today and it is gone and I can see it as it was when I was a
boy."
