Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Memory Book: Wherein the Members of the Illinois Woman's Press Association Have Written Bits of Feminine Philosophy, and Fancy, and Wherein You May Write Your Own
The marvel of memory makes of life the real high and holy thing it is - a bond between the past and present - the prelude of the future. Memory is that function of the brain which is most essential in the education and development of humanity. Without memory reasoning would fail, since one must remem ber premises in order to discuss rationally any grave theme of business, politics, home, literature. Aye! Even happiness will be nil if one remembers not love. Maeterlinck denies the immortality of memory, depending, as it does, for expression upon the brain function - the brain necessarily dying with the rest of the body. Hence, while grant ing the immortality of the soul, he denies that we shall know each other when spirit reveals itself to spirit.
