THERE ARE, I said, three registers of memory: the memory of witness, the memory of spectacle, and the memory of the silent nothing. The last belongs to the places themselves. And there is, I said, also a fourth: these three linked together, because it is not, I said, that they need to be held apart. And you answered: home—your truer problem—is precisely the place not given to you to live. Rather it is given, you said, as a force of love sheltered in your apartness, the finding impulse in your ownmost golus.
