“History is that which has happened and that which goes on happening in time. But it is also the stratified record upon which we set our feet, the ground beneath us, and the deeper the roots of our being go down into the layers that lie below and beyond the fleshly confines of our ego, yet at the same feed and condition it – so that in our moments of less precision we may speak of them in the first person and as though they were part of our flesh and blood experience – the heavier is our life with thought, the weightier is the soul of our flesh.”
