postcard, the Freud Museum

First we visited the Keats House, a place we’d gone to years ago, quiet in its leafy garden, and then we found the Freud Museum, a fascinating hoard of time and reflection — his, his daughter Anna’s, ours…In the small shop, I bought a book from an earlier exhibit designed around Freud’s 1936 letter/essay, “A Disturbance of Memory on the Acropolis”, a significant strand running through my forthcoming book, The Art of Looking Back. So the past welcomes us, offers us its own solace, takes us by the hand and murmurs, “You too?”
