tonight i'll sleep with his untimely mediations beside me. i wish i could have been there to embrace him when he sacrificed his sanity to throw his arms around a horse being beaten without warrant...or so, that's how the myth goes.
"forgetting is essential to action of any kind...it is possible to live almost without memory, and to live happily moreover, as the animal demonstrates; but it is altogether impossible to live at all without forgetting...there is a degree of sleeplessness, of rumination, of the historical sense, which is harmful and ultimately fatal to the living thing."
