Summary

This quote illustrates that the narrator finds joy in the ebb and flow of connection with someone else. It suggests that, for them, the pleasure does not solely reside in the actions or decisions made, but rather in the overall experience of witnessing the intertwined paths of two individuals as they intertwine and then diverge, only to converge again. The pleasure lies in the cyclical nature of their connection, highlighting the significance of the journey and the bond shared rather than solely focusing on the outcomes or individual actions.

Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.
