And I come to the broad fields and spaces of my memory, where are the treasures of innumerable images, brought into it from things of all sorts perceived by the senses ... When I enter there, I require what I will to be brought forth and something instantly comes; others must be longer sought for. These things do I within, in that vast court of my memory, for there are present within me, heaven and earth, sea and whatever I have perceived therein ... Great is this force of memory, exceedingly great, O my God, a large and boundless chamber! Whoever sounded the bottom thereof?
