memory, that blessing, that curse.
how can we live on
without sweet memory
of former days blessed with delight;
with cruel memory
of former days cursed with sorrow,
how can we live on?
memory, that unsteady friend and foe, servant and master.
First, we have to learn
how to remember, to memorize.
Then, we have to learn
how to forget.
In the end,
if we are unlucky,
we cannot remember a thing
try as hard as we would.
This is the time
when memory turns against us
and the end is a
blank
