"Remembrance wakes with all her busy train, Swells at my breast, and turns the past to pain."
"Yet how much less it were to gain, Though thou hast left me free, The loveliest things that still remain, Than thus remember thee."

Memory is the faculty of the mind by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action. If past events could not be remembered, it would be impossible for language, relationships, or personal identity to develop. Memory loss is usually described as forgetfulness or amnesia.

"Out of mind as soon as out of sight."
"To live in hearts we leave behind, Is not to die."
"Vague memories hang about the mind like cobwebs."
