from On the Origins of Consciousness
It was thus that conclusions were drawn: though the I was persuasive, capable of insight and precise sensation, contained in flesh as it was, it was unable to retain even one full instant of being. In every moment – regardless of season – it pruned back the thicket of wonder. Each night, unfailingly, chastened by memory in the small room of sleep: recollection returning to the I with its arms full of all the precious, abandoned things.
– Ellen Hinsey (The White Fire of Time, Wesleyan University Press, 2002)
