He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging…Fruitless searching is as much a part of this as succeeding, and consequently, remembrance must not proceed in the manner of a narrative or still less that of a report, but must, in the strictest epic and rhapsodic manner, assay its spade in ever new places, and in the old ones delve to ever deeper levels (1997b: 214).

Walter Benjamin, One-Way Street
