„Ştia forma norilor australi din ziua de 30 aprilie 1882, şi putea s-o compare cu nervurile unei cărţi din hârtie spaniolă pe care o privise o singură dată sau cu crestele de spumă pe care o vâslă le-a ridicat pe Rio Negro în ajunul luptei de la Quebracho. Aceste amintiri nu erau simple; fiecare imagine vizuală era legată de senzaţii musculare, termice etc. Putea să reconstruiască toate visele. De două sau de trei ori reconstruise câte o zi întreagă. Mi-a spus: Eu singur am mai multe amintiri decât toţi oamenii de când lumea e lume. Şi-a continuat: Visele mele sunt ca veghea dumneavoastră. Iar spre ziuă a adăugat: Memoria mea, domnule, este asemeni unui depozit de gunoi

Tennyson said that if we could understand a single flower we would know who we are and what the world is. Perhaps he meant that there is no deed, however so humble, which does not implicate universal history and the infinite concatenation of causes and effects. Perhaps he meant that the visible world is implicit, in its entirety, in each manifestation, just as, in the same way, will, according to Schopenhauer, is implicit, in its entirety, in each individual.
