What the dead don't know piles up, though we don't notice it at first. They don't know how we're getting along without them, of course, dealing with the hours and days that now accrue so quickly, and, unless they divined this somehow in advance, they don't know that we don't want this inexorable onslaught of breakfasts and phone calls and going to the bank, all this stepping along, because we don't want anything extraneous to get in the way of what we feel about them or the ways we want to hold them in mind.

Maybe Cubism started this way. Memory re-arranging a face.

My memory is good for some things and not others.

Pegi just recorded "I Don't Want to Talk About," written by Danny Whitten, the original Crazy Horse guitar player and singer who's all over Early Daze, an album of songs from the beginning of Crazy Horse that I have been working on compiling recently. Danny was every bit the artist I am, but he died of a heroin OD in the early seventies. Every time I hear Pegi sing that song, it makes me tremendously sad. She sings it so beautifully, phrasing it to break my heart. She does it justice. You can see I have some unfinished business with Danny.

আমাদের সেই কথোপকথন, সেই বাক্যালাপগুলি
গ্রন্থিত করলে
পৃথিবীর একটি শ্রেষ্ঠ প্রেমের কবিতা হতে পারতো;
হয়তো আজ তার কিছুই মনে নেই
আমার মনে সেই বাক্যালাপগুলি নিরন্তর শিশির
হয়ে ঝরে পড়ে,
মৌমাছি হয়ে গুনগুন করে স্বর্ণচাঁপা আর গোলাপ
হয়ে ঝরতে থাকে;
সেই ফুলের গন্ধে, সেই মৌমাছির গুঞ্জনে
আর কোকিলের গানে
আমি সারারাত ঘুমাতে পারি না, নিঃশ্বাস ফেলতে
পারি না
We carry the dead with us only until we die too, and then it is we who are borne along for a little while, and then our bearers in their turn drop, and so on into the unimaginable generations.

Erinnern, das heißt, eines Geschehens so ehrlich und rein zu gedenken, daß es zu einem Teil des eigenen Innern wird. Das stellt große Anforderungen an unsere Wahrhaftigkeit."
[Ansprache am 8. Mai 1985 in der Gedenkstunde im Plenarsaal des Deutschen Bundestages]

But maybe that's what the dead do. They stay. They linger. Benign and sweet and painful. They don't need us. They echo all by themselves.
Sangu MandannaThe true art of memory, is the art of attention
