These memories of former times do not awaken desire so much as sorrow-- a vast$$$ inapprehensible melancholy. Once we had such desires-- but they return not. They are past$$$ they belong to another world that is gone from us. They are completely lost to us. They arise no more; we are dead and they stand remote on the horizon$$$ they are a mysterious reflection$$$ an apparition that haunts us$$$ that we fear and love without hope. They are unattainable and we know it.And even if these scenes of our youth were given back to us$$$ we would hardly know what to do.
