Metaphors always the same, but constantly born anew like a mind alive. Language given at birth, never our own, never others', visits us just as we ourselves are visitors here, two short-term loans. Then you say what's being said. Language, the possession of secrets. But I'll have to go out and get some filter papers so that I'm not left empty-handed.
Human memory is equally short forwards and backwards.
In backward-looking dreams or human memory there are perhaps more real things, but those real things, or facts, nevertheless swap places and natures according to the rememberer, and also according to the rememberer's different impulses. For this reason it is more interesting to remember forwards. You do not have to prove anything, at least at once. And if you remember for a long time and with concentration, these dreams, too, beget real things, or facts, which can be grasped by word and deed. The most important thing is not to stop still, just now, when you're not quite sure what will happen.
