History is that which has
happened and that which goes on happening in time. But also it is the
stratified record upon which we set our feet, the ground beneath us;
and the deeper the roots of our being go down into the layers that lie
below and beyond the ... confines of our ego, yet at the same time
feed and condition it, ... the heavier is our life with thought and
the weightier is the soul of our flesh.... Thomas Mann
