"There are objects that seem to go unchanging through the centuries and there are the teacups we dropped when the telephone rang late at night and the thousands of objects borne away from us on a tide of entropy, disintegration and distraction, never to return. I know where to find a Praxiteles statue, but where are my baby teeth?"
