‘Dreams are but lies’ says an old maxim; but when our last hour is at hand , and but a few brief minutes are left to what was ‘I’, pale lights before the eyes are fast growing dim, who can tell by what mark to distinguish you, O memories of the actual life, from you, O mirages of the dream-life?

“Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary moments.
Later on they do claim remembrance when they show their scars.”
