thoughts on thoughts

"I have remembered, I suppose, what I wanted to remejber; many ridiculous things for no reason that makes sense. that is the way we human creatures are made."

"Long walks are off, and alas, bathing in the sea; fillet steaks and apples and raw blackberries (teeth difficulties) and reading fine print. But there is a great deal left. Operas and concerts, and reading, and the enormous pleasure of dropping into bed and going to sleep, and dreams of every variety....Almost best of all, sitting in the sun--Gently drowsy...And there you are again---remembering. 'I remember, I remember...the house where I was born.'
