"It's that sensation, if you turn the opera glass around... Curiously, although it's further removed, the image seems much more precise. It's like looking down a well shaft.Looking in the past has always given me that vertiginous sense. It's desire, almost, or the temptation that you might throw yourself into it, as it were, over the parapets and down.There is something terribly alluring to me about the past. I'm hardly interested in the future. I don't think it will hold many good things. But at least about the past you can have certain illusions."
WG Sebald in the interview "Ghost Hunter" by Eleanor Wachtel.
