Jack London. Straitjacket (Interstellar Vagabond) (№ 119166)

But in utter nakedness, but in oblivion full...
Yes, the darkness of the dungeon closes over us, we barely have time to be born, and too quickly we forget everything. However, being born, we still remember other places, other times. Helpless infants, resting in someone's arms, or crawling on all fours on the floor, we dreamed of flying high above the ground. Yes, Yes.
And in our nightmares we are going through suffering and agony, exhausted from the fear of something monstrous and unknown. Barely born, still not getting any experience, we however, since the advent of the light know fear, the fear lives on in our memories, and memories emerge from experience.
