"how is it possible to bring order out of a memory? i should like to begin at the beginning, patiently, like a weaver at his loom. i should like to say, 'this is the place to start; there can be no other.' but there are a hundred places to start for there are a hundred names - mwanza, serengetti, nungwe, molo, nakuru. there are easily a hundred names, and i can best begin by choosing one of them - not because it is first nor of any importance in a wildly adventurous sense, but because here it happens to be, turned upmost in my logbook. after all, i am no weaver. weavers create. this is remembrance - revisitation; and names are keys that open corridors no longer fresh in the mind, but nonetheless familiar in the heart."
