ever-deeper layers

"Memory is not an instrument for surveying the past but its theater.Its the medium of past experience (Medium des Erlebten), just as the earth is the medium in which dead cities lie buried.He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a  man digging".

Excavation and Memory_W.Benjamin
