““How many times have I gone back to the border of memory and peered into the darkness beyond? But it is not only memories that hover on the border.

The fantasies of an imaginative little girl anxious to explain to herself the inexplicable. Whatever story I may have discovered on the frontier of forgetting, I do not pretend to myself that is the truth.””
