There! I've gone and done it now: intentionally misquoted a master at his art,
and at the coward's time, too: well, after the man is dead, anyone can say he
said something that he didn't say and all you'll get is an estate tax attack.

Umberto claimed, from the recorded words attributed to a fictional antehero,
that there's no discipline of forgetting, for the sort of information that oft
chills our minds at quite the nonlocal mesoform, although metastable upon fine
