“He would roam about the world carrying his recollections with him, and perhaps
some day he would come to forget them, for one can live only by forgetting;
but when his grief should dissolve with the years he would be left an empty
man, like a smiling automaton, incapable of any affections other
than material ones.”
Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, Luna Benamor, 1919
