Everyone has a moment in history that belongs particularly to him. It is the moment when his emotions achieve their most powerful sway over him, and afterward when you say to this person 'the world today' or 'life' or 'reality' he will assume you mean this moment, even if it is fifty years past. The world, through his unleashed emotion, imprinted itself on him and he carries that stamp of that passing moment forever.
