“Autobiographies do not form
indisputable authorities. They are always incomplete, and often unreliable.
Eager as I am to put down the truth, there are difficulties; memory fails
especially in small details, so that it becomes finally but a theory of my
life, with much forgotten and misconceived, with valuable testimony but often
less than absolutely true, despite my intention to be frank and fair.” --
W.E.B. DuBois
A theory of life/
With memory's perfidy/
Occluding small truths.
