He explains at the beginning: \"This volume of papers, unconnected as they are, it will be better to read through from the beginning, rather than dip into at random.  A certain thread of meaning binds them.  Memories of childhood and youth, portraits of those who have gone before us in the battle - taken together, they build up a face that \"I have loved long since and lost awhile,\" the face of what was once myself.  This has come by accident; I had no design at first to be autobiographical; I was but led away by the charm of beloved memories and by regret for the irrevocable dead; and when my own young face (which is a face of the dead also) began to appear in the well as by a kind of magic, I was the first to be surprised at the occurrence.\"","brand":"Seltzer Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143341588720,"sku":"9781455371518","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455371518_p0.jpg?v=1763851715","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455371518","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
