From Confessions by Saint Augustine
Augustine's pioneering exploration of memory as the vast inner landscape where the self meets God, and his philosophical meditation on the nature of time as a distention of the soul.
Book 10:8

'I come to the fields and spacious palaces of my memory' — the wonder of inner space.
