From the Foreword: "Whatever the meaning of history may be, there was once a time when it was not history. It was experience, shared by living people; pain, perhaps, or ecstasy, or fear, or just a small deed done well, or badly, or indifferently. Upon these happenings the historians write their gloss, but the first thing is that they happened, and for us the first thing is that they happen again in our imaginations.".
