"I must be modern; I live now. But like anybody else... I live
in a muddle of eras, and some of my ideas belong to today, and some
to the ancient past, and some to periods that seem more relevant to
my parents than to me. If I could sort them out and control them, I
might know better where I stand, but when I most want to be contemporary,
the past keeps pushing in, and when I long for the past, the present
cannot be pushed away."
