Memory


From the table of my memory I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records. Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 5.	1
No, Doctor, I have no command of my memory; it only retains what happens to hit my fancy; and like enough, sir, if you were to preach to me for a couple of hours on end, I might be unable at the close of the discourse to remember one word of it. Scott.—Intro. to Ann of Geierstein.	2
I pleas’d remember, and while mem’ry yet Holds fast her office here, can ne’er forget. Cowper.—Tirocinium.	3
O! while all conscious memory holds her power, Can I forget that sweetly painful hour. Falconer.—Shipwreck, Canto I.	4
Remember thee? Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted globe. Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 5.	5
