It was remarkable in me to remember a thing like that, which occurred when I was so young.
And it was still more remarkable that I should cling to the delusion, for thirty years, that I _did_ remember it--for of course it never happened; he would not have been able to walk at that age.

If I had stopped to reflect, I should not have burdened my memory with that impossible rubbish so long.

It is believed by many people that an impression deposited in a child's memory within the first two years of its life cannot remain there five years, but that is an error.

The incident of Benvenuto Cellini and the salamander must be accepted as authentic and trustworthy; and then that remarkable and indisputable instance in the experience of Helen Keller--however, I will speak of that at another time.

For many years I believed that I remembered helping my grandfather drink his whiskey toddy when I was six weeks old, but I do not tell about that any more, now; I am grown old, and my memory is not as active as it used to be.
