May I add my own favorite?

A Prayer For Old Age
W. B. Yeats

God guard me from those thoughts men think
In the mind alone;
He that sings a lasting song
Thinks in a marrow bone;

From all that makes a wise old man
That can be praised of all;
O what am I that I should not seem
For the song's sake a fool?

I pray - for fashion's word is out
And prayer comes round again -
That I may seem, though I die old,
A foolish, passionate man.

thanks Mike ...

a (picturesque) novelist's point
of view on memory ...

"You have to begin to lose your memory,
  if only in bits and pieces,
  to realize that memory is what makes our lives.
  Life without memory is no life at all. (...)
  Our memory is our coherence, our reason,
  our feeling, even our action.
  Without it, we are nothing ..."
                                                  (Luis Buñuel)
