  Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail,

  Blest with far greener shades, far fresher flowers.

• Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.

• Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived. The odors of fruits waft me to my southern home, to my childhood frolics in the peach orchard. Other odors, instantaneous and fleeting, cause my heart to dilate joyously or contract with remembered grief. Even as I think of smells, my nose is full of scents that start awake sweet memories of summers gone and ripening fields far away.

  Helen Keller

  Summer, Sweet, Memories

• Marriage, which has been the bourne of so many narratives, is still a great beginning, as it was to Adam and Eve, who kept their honey-moon in Eden, but had their first little one among the thorns and thistles of the wilderness. It is still the beginning of the home epic - the gradual conquest or irremediable loss of that complete union which make the advancing years a climax, and age the harvest of sweet memories in common.

• If I should stay
  I would only be in your way
  So I'll go, but I know
  I'll think of you each step of the way
  And I will always love you
  I will always love you
  Bitter sweet Memories
  That's all I am taking with me
  Good-bye. Please don't cry
  We both know that I'm not
  What you need
  But I will always love you
  I will always love you.

  Dolly Parton
