“...suddenly I wanted to go back and be in all the
places I’d ever been, every street I’d walked down, every room I’d sat down in. I wanted to see it all again.

It was interesting!” But I knew that even if I could go back, if such a thing were possible with exactitude, in life or in dreams, there was really no point. And then I felt desperately lonely.”
