When I came to read these books again after a gap of many years,
I found that this passage had been stamped on my memory like the
pattern on a metal coin; it was as perfectly familiar as if I had
committed it to memory. Yet I had not done so deliberately; it had
worked on me by itself, just as Severian says.
